Delta Adivasi Roller Ball

Description

The Delta Adivasi Roller Ball is part of  “The Indigenous Peoples Collection”. This Delta collection pays tribute to the descendants of the first inhabitants of India, The Adivasi.  The word Adivasi results from a combination of the Sanskrit term ‘adi’ -original- and ‘vasi’ -inhabitant-. They have never been part of the Indian economy – their activities in agriculture, shepherding and crafts serves them to survive only. Because of the birth of modern industry and the resulted tribal discrimination many of them fled to inaccessible hill areas, where they could preserve their way of life.
