Historically, their main source of livelihood was hunting, but this has become almost impossible since laws were tightened to protect wild animals. Today, the Narikurava make a living primarily from making bead necklaces and other jewelry which they sell on the streets, in front of temples and at festivals.<\/p>\n<p>The Narikuravar people have experienced discrimination ever since ancient times and were long considered \u201cuntouchables\u201d. In 2023, the Indian central government finally granted the Narikuravar people \u201cscheduled tribe\u201d status. But the Narikuravar people continue to be marginalized to this day. Access to healthcare, education and formal employment is still limited. Historically rooted prejudices persist in the Indian population.<br \/>\nThe Narikuravar in Poonjeri, who are portrayed here, live today in small stone houses built for them by various organizations after a tsunami destroyed the community\u2019s settlement a couple of miles away in 2004.<\/p>\n<p><a
