The Raji

today i have seen a fascinating documentary about a group of nomads on tv, the raji, who live in the south of nepal at the border to india.
Quote:
The Raji are one of the last ethnic groups in Nepal still living in the forest as semi-nomads. Travelling for months in family bands, the Raji follow the bees as they migrate through the lowlands with the blossoming of flowers. Following this band, I would learn what it means to be as poor as dirt - and as rich as the earth. By Eric Valli
