For centuries, India’s tribal communities have safeguarded forests, languages, traditions, knowledge systems and ways of life. Yet many of their stories remain unknown, not because they are insignificant, but because few have taken the effort to document them.

The Indian Tribal was founded to change that,  guided by one simple mission—Know The Unknown, Lesser-Known Tribal Life.

For the past four-and-a-half years, we have travelled across India to chronicle stories that rarely find space in mainstream media. We have done this without external funding, driven only by our conviction that India’s tribal heritage deserves to be documented with dignity, depth and authenticity.

If you like our work, and if it has informed, inspired or helped you understand India’s tribal/indigenous communities better, we invite you to become a part of this mission.

Your contribution will not merely fund a news platform. It will help preserve voices, traditions, histories and aspirations that form an invaluable part of India’s identity. Because when an untold story is documented, a piece of India’s heritage is preserved forever.

Please share a screenshot of your contribution besides your name and mail ID at 9717558884 and [email protected] or [email protected] to enable us to convey our heartfelt thanks to you.
