How Nenets Nomads Live in the HARSH Arctic Conditions of Northern Russia

Video Description

How Nenets Nomads Live in the HARSH Arctic Conditions of Northern Russia This film was filmed in the Yamal tundra, 200 km from the capital of the Far North, Salekhard. Nenets nomads live here — one of the small Indigenous peoples of Russia. There are about 43,000 of them left. They live by reindeer herding. Thanks to the reindeer, they have food, shelter, clothing, and transportation. They live in cone-shaped dwellings called chums, built from long poles and reindeer hides. In the center of each chum is a fireplace, used both for cooking and heating — a lifeline in temperatures that can drop to –50°C, sometimes even –60°C. Far from the noise of the modern world, the Nenets have become the guardians of the ancient traditions and customs of their ancestors. Their main occupation is reindeer herding, a traditional trade passed down from generation to generation. Reindeer play an essential role in the life of the Nenets, providing them with meat, milk, hides, and a reliable means of transportation across the endless, frozen tundra. The Nenets skillfully manage their herds, caring for the animals and ensuring their health and well-being. Reindeer are the Nenets’ main source of survival in this land of icy winds and endless snow. They are invaluable creatures that allow Nenets families not only to find food and maintain their way of life, but also to preserve their cultural and spiritual heritage — including rituals rooted in their belief in the harmony between humans, animals, and the spirits of the North.
