      Hi !! your research sounds interesting as well as intriguing, humanistic studies is undoubtedly a complex domain for research. As much you have manged to describe about your research here, on the basis of it I am unable to suggest a precise research methodology. However currently there are innumerable studies being conducted on tribal communities of South America and Native Americans, using ingenious ways that to communicate and understand the tribal culture as well as people. The following portals might help you get a number of research papers, which might as well give you a chance to evaluate the various methodologies employed in these papers and then work your way through it.

      Hi, your apprehension is absolutely reasonable, I am not trying to generalize but I faced a similar experience when I was writing a research paper on the tribal community of the Bhils in Gujrat, India. In conducting research on indigenous communities, first hand communication is an invariable limitation which can be mitigated if you could rope in any experienced and quality translator but it cannot be totally done away with. It could be helpful if you could reach out to any journalist or an anthropologist who have worked around and about your research area.
