<p><em>Nomadic Hunter-Gatherer Raute neither harvest and plant forest species nor domesticated animals; however, they have knowledge of bio-diversity, ecological conditions, climate, and atmospheric conditions. This paper explores indigenous natural resource management, nomadic culture, resource use and exploitation, and symbiotic relationships between Raute and non-Raute. There is close nexus between indigenous knowledge and livelihood strategies of hunter-gatherers, which can be observed in their foraging activities, medical care, food habits, and hunting mechanism that depends on adaptive strategies, resource exploitation, and resilience power. Natural resource management issues in Raute concern different dimensions ie social history, foraging practices, selected hunting animals, shamanism practices, and trade. I have explored Raute’s understanding of the exploitation and collection of forest resources in accordance with seasonality, temperature, geographical terrain, and population of hunting animals. The resources management knowledge transforms vertically and strictly under societal rules including social taboos, faiths, and ideologies. Indigenous knowledge of plants and animals contributes to the regeneration, collection, and extraction of resources which are useful for food supply, medication, and trade that do not hurdle the lifeway of the sedentary population. There are important contributions of spaces ie physical and socio-cultural and indigenous knowledge interface. The indigenous knowledge system of foragers is handed down from one generation to the next through customary and traditional practices; however, such practices rapidly changing due to the penetration of the cash economy, government policies, and transformation of technologies in their everyday foraging practices. </em></p>
