i don't know about tribes living in remote places but i can say that no one uses sundials to tell the time unless they are having a bit a fun or are just curious or are stuck in the middle of a desert and don't know the time or are a collector(those people would be say about 1 in a million) the sundials still used(rather seen as historic monuments) commonly are the ones you find in town squares and so forth.
