They are not NEGROES but Indians.
On my way to Little Andaman (Hutbay) by ship I met the Onge tribe on board.
Together from Port Blair we traveled for almost 12 hours to reach Hutbay.
Who were the original inhabitants of these islands?
For many years prior to the European invasions, tribal and indigenous people lived a subsistence life. Today they comprise less than 10% of the total population. Some of the tribes like the Jarawas, Andamanese, Sentinelese, Onges are on the verge of becoming extinct.
