1. The Kurdish family
There are a few unusual tribes those are not isolated tribes but also uncontacted peoples. In a remote village in the Turkish province of Hatay, hidden from the rest of the world, lives an unusual family. It consists of a father, a mother, and 19 children. But five of those children stand out from the rest. The reason? – This mysterious tribe walks on both their feet and hands.
For years, only a handful of scientists knew about this strangest tribe family. But that changed in 2006 when cameras were allowed in the isolated village and the entire world got to meet the hidden people.
2. The Kayan
Women of this usual tribe identify themselves by their forms of dress. Women of the Kayan Lahwi tribe are well known for wearing neck rings, and brass coils that are placed around the neck, appearing to lengthen it. The women wearing these coils are known as "giraffe women" to tourists. Girls first start to wear rings when they are around 5 years old. One fact about this strange tribe is, that over the years, the coil is replaced by a longer one and more turns are added.
3. The Totobiegosode
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has urged Paraguay to stop wrong deforestation in Ayoreo Totobiegosode, an ancestral territory in the Chaco forest that’s home to the last uncontacted indigenous tribe south of the Amazon basin.
Totobiegosodes, who are considered the most mysterious tribes of all the Ayoreo groups, have lived in the Paraguayan Chaco for over half a century. This uncontacted tribe first came into contact with outsiders in the 1940s and 1950s, according to Latin Correspondent, when Mennonite farmers sought to develop colonies on Ayoreo land.
This mysterious event has an enormous impact on the Ayoreo Totobiegosode’s way of life and ability to survive in that region. We just hope that this not so dangerous tribe becomes a lost tribe.
4. The Mascho Piru
You may hear about the mysterious tribe on North Sentinal Island, this strangest tribe vigorously reject all contact with outsiders. But now I am going to tell you about another Stone Age tribe which you don’t want to meet. The ultimate fact is this mysterious tribe is also considered one of the most dangerous tribes for the fear that they might spread disease to the neighboring village as they did not grow immunity.
The Mashco-Piro or Mascho Piro, also known as the Cujareño people and Nomole, are an indigenous tribe of nomadic hunter-gatherers who inhabit the remote regions of the Amazon rainforest. They live in Manú National Park in the Madre de Dios Region in Peru. They have in the past actively avoided contact with non-native peoples.
5. Mursi Tribe from Ethiopia
Mursi, or Mursu or Mun as they refer to themselves, are a Nilotic pastoralist ethnic group in Ethiopia.
The men practice light scarification on their shoulders after ending an enemy, and shave geometric patterns on their heads. During dances and ceremonies they adorn literally every part of their body with white chalk paint. Young unmarried men practice group stick fights. The winner is carried on top of poles to girls waiting beside the arena, who decide among themselves which of them will ask his hand in marriage.
6. Masai Tribe
This dangerous tribe has a few mysterious videos you won’t believe exists. They are the most unusual tribe in the world.
Spitting at someone in most cultures around the world is seen as rude or uncivilized but not for the Maasai people, who live in Kenya and northern Tanzania. Now occupying a much smaller area in the Kajiado and Narok districts since their vast territory has been taken over by some of Kenya’s game reserves, the Maasai is one of the most popular and unique African tribes due to their long preserved culture.
Accounting for only about 0.7 percent of Kenya’s population, with a similar number in Tanzania, the Maasai are considered to be one of East Africa’s most internationally well-known tourist attractions.
