Default I look for an ethnic group with preserved traditions.

Hi, I like to know the culture of the peoples around the world
with preserved traditions and with unusual rituals (they have to wear
traditional clothes, naked too. I don't like t-shirt.
I have visited many ethnic groups around the world.
Can you help me to find some others with very unusual traditions?
I need precise info, please.
Thanks

I know of one group whose tradition is to eat very large quantities of
fattening food. The men wears T-shirts with the sleeves cut off.
They call this wife beater shirts. They also wear blue jeans, again
with the lower half of the jeans cut off. The women are also very
large and wear a tent like covering they call Mumu's.

Would you like to visit this ethnic group?

I've actually spent time among those people. Many of them are completely
ignorant of the fact that there is a whole world outside their area. Quite
fascinating. It's as if time has passed them by completely.

Dear Bob, thanks for your reply. I take an interest about that people.
I'd like to know them better. Can you tell me where they live
precisely and what is the name of that ethnic group?
I am curious: why did you spent time among those people?
Could I film their daily life?
thanks
