Abstract
India's tribal populations consistently exhibit the highest fertility levels of any segment of the national population. This historic fertility differential is commonly ascribed to a distinct tribal marital fertility pattern featuring a lower average age at marriage, high rates of widow remarriage, and high frequencies of divorce and remarriage. The present analysis of one tribal population, the Koya Dora of Koraput District, Orissa, uncovered none of these characteristics. Rather, it is proposed that differential mortality patterns underlie the present Koya Dora fertility differential.
