The Great Andamanese Tribe
This tribe was once dominated other tribes in Andaman in terms of population. Today, their numbers have decreased greatly. The government is making efforts to preserve the tribe. The tribals have been rehabilitated at Strait Island in Andaman. The great Andamanese are basically wanderers. Now they have become more civilized and can cook food using spices along with dal and chapatti. Sometimes they still go hunting pork, Andaman water monitor lizard, octopus, mollusks and other sea animals apart from the regular crab and fish. Now, they have also established poultry farms. They participate in group activities like games and dances. They make their own bows, arrows and boats for their needs. Due to the influence of the locals, the Great Andamanese have developed communicable diseases and unhealthy drinking habits.

The Sentinelese is a part of the Onge Jarawa tribe. They have a separate identity due to their isolated existence. Due to their hostile attitude, not much is known about the tribe.
