The Siddi Tribe
The Siddis are an Indian and Pakistani ethnic group of Afro-Arab and/or Black African descent. Villages in the forests of Northern Karnataka have residents who most likely descended from Mozambican/Angolan slaves, escaping from the clutches of Portuguese traders and ships around 400 years ago.

The Halakki Vokkaliga Tribe
Halakki Vokkaligas live in the foothills of Western Ghats are known as the “Aboriginals of Uttara Kannada”. The women, who like to deck themselves up, have their nose, ears, necks, arms and ankles loaded with ornaments made of brass, copper and silver. They have a great fancy for blue, yellow and red beads, and wear them in large numbers, around their necks in the form of strings.
