Question

What is the term endangered tribe?

Answer 1

The Awá have been called the mostendangered tribe on Earth because of the threat posed by illegal loggers to their forested hunting grounds. Most of their population of about 450 people live in Caru, a 668-square-mile reserve created in 1982, and an adjacent reserve called Awa.

Answer 2

So the Sentinelese fear of outsiders is very understandable." The two endangered aboriginal Andaman tribes - the Jarawa and the Sentinelese - are hunter-gatherers, and contact with the outside world would put them at risk of contracting disease.
