Abstract
Indigenous term is prevailed as a generic term for many years. It refers to people who lived there before colonists or settlers arrived. Occupational and geographical terms such as hunter-gatherers, nomads, peasants, and hill people are often used in a similar context to “indigenous peoples” and can, in many cases, serve as interchangeable descriptors. Indigenous describes any group of people native to a specific region. Preserving tribal identity is a major challenge for indigenous tribes around the world. Literature plays a vital role in safeguarding and promoting the cultural identity of these communities. Indigenous Literature and Digital Learning Platform in preservation of tribal identity is the main focus of this paper. Collaborative endeavors should be done by involving scholars, writers, and artists from both tribal and non-tribal backgrounds as these have the potential to transcend cultural divides and cultivate a deep understanding of tribal literature. Funding and support for tribal authors, scholars, and cultural initiatives is essential. As readers, writers, and scholars, all are responsible to make sure that these voices, which contain the profound knowledge accumulated over centuries, are acknowledged and valued.
