- Abstract
The article focuses on the relationship and communication between the indigenous Wanniyala-Aetto in Colombo, Sri Lanka and the international community. The people supports their basic needs by foraging supplemented by swidden and fallow cultivation. They tried to survive in the forest and searched for food because the animals fled from the construction turmoil. They could not remain in the forest because the government imposed regulations on them. They need to have the self-confidence to speak out on their own in order to survive as a culture.
