What is another word for lost tribes?
Pronunciation: [lˈɒst tɹˈa͡ɪbz] (IPA) 
The term "lost tribes" refers to indigenous groups who have been isolated from the rest of society. However, this phrase has a colonialist and derogatory connotation that suggests these tribes are primitive or inferior. Nowadays, it is more appropriate to use the term "uncontacted tribes" or "isolated communities" to refer to these groups. These synonyms reflect a more respectful and accurate perception of the diversity of cultures that exist in the world. These groups are not lost but rather have chosen to maintain their ancestral way of life and protect their land from modern threats such as deforestation, mining, and tourism.
