Part 2 to our series about the ritual aspects of the Nenets of Northern Siberia. This is an educational video showing an ancient and sacred aspect of traditional life among the reindeer herders of northern Siberia. The reindeer (caribou) is everything to them, they herd them, and in the past they were a very important part of their shamanic tradition. The reindeer can survive in the harshest of climates, find its food under two fees (0.5m) of snow, and keeps the herders and their families alive when there is no other food available. In the far north of the region there is no firewood for cooking. Everything freezes solid within minutes. Warm fresh food is therefore a treat.
