Scope and content : Intended primarily as a means to collect information for anthropological science, this survey may also be of interest to national governments concerned with the welfare of hill-dwelling people. The relative obscurity of peoples living in the hill regions stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the eastern borders of India have made them of particular interest to anthropologists. This survey focuses on questions including whether these tribal people are being absorbed into the national majority populations of the countries in which they live, the extent to which these people are maintaining their tribal life, whether tribal movements can be constructed for a region, and whether present tribal movements reflect historical ones.
