In this video, we delve into their rich culture, traditions, and the challenges they face in the modern world. Join us as we explore the broader context of Black indigenous.

These groups are thought to be descendants of the first humans who migrated out of Africa roughly 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, following a southern coastal route into Asia. 

Over time, they adapted to diverse forested environments and developed distinct cultural and genetic lineages. Later migrations brought new technologies and agriculture, but the Maniq largely remained isolated, preserving their hunter-gatherer lifestyle and oral traditions
