A huge part of their culture, including their language, was successively lost or dispersed, and almost the entire ethnic group disappeared. However, the Nukini managed to survive by mixing with other ethnic groups and tribes. They have rebuilt a strong socio-economic structure that allows them to be close to the nature that surrounds and nourishes them.
