Hunter-gatherer societies struggle with seemingly insurmountable problems: deforestation and encroachment, language loss, political domination by surrounding communities. Will they manage to survive? This book discusses about one such society living in the monsoon rainforests of western Nepal: the Raute.

The Raute and Rawat people of the central Himalayan region live by hunting, gathering, and trading wooden carvings. A Comparative Dictionary of Raute and Rawat provides a useful reference work with new information about the speakers' ethnic identities and culturally significant plants, animals, deities, and material culture.
