The Dongria Kondh live in the Niyangiri Hills in Orissa State, India-they do not live anywhere else. Yet a mining company wants to mine their sacred mountain's rich seam of bauxite. They call themselves Jharnia, 'protector of streams'. They are determined to protect their sacred mountain.

Location: Muniguda area, Orissa, India
