Communities living in Bastar are Gonds, Maria, Muria, Dhurwar and Halbas.
Their beliefs regarding nature are :
(a) The people believed that each village was given its land by the Earth and thus they look after the earth by making some offerings at each agricultural festival.
(b) Respect is also shown to the spirits of the river, the forest and the mountain.
(c) As each village was aware of their boundaries, all the natural resources within that boundary were looked after by the local people.
(d) If people from a village want to take some wood from the forests of another village, they pay a small fee called dand. Some villages also protect their forests by engaging watchmen and every household contributes some grain to pay them.
