Anak Dalam tribe or Orang Rimba is one of minority tribes who live on the island of Sumatra precisely in the province of Jambi and South Sumatra. History says they came from Pagaruyung, who fled to Jambi. This has reinforced the fact that indigenous tribes have a common ancestor in the language and customs of the tribe of Minangkabau, such as the matrilineal system.
The majority people of Anak Dalam tribe live in Jambi province, with an estimated population of about 200,000 people. They live in 3 different ecological regions, namely people in the northern stronghold of Jambi province, in Bukit Tigapuluh national park, and in the south province of Jambi.
They are nomadic and live their life based on hunting and gathering, although many of them now have agricultural land. Once a week, people from Anak Dalam tribe usually walk in the night to reach the village in Palm Oil plantations in Bukit Duabelas. At this occasion, they come out from the jungle and go to the village market to buy some things and to sell their catch of fish. Some people of Anak Dalam tribe already live in modernity but the oldest ones still live deep inside the forest and still try to follow a nomadic life and subsist on what they hunt and gather from forests.
