Mongolian Reindeer Herder
Mongolian Reindeer Herder
Johan Mathis Turi and Elna Sara of
the Association of World Mongolian Reindeer Herders have this week left
for China to visit reindeer herders. China is not often thought of when
it comes to reindeer husbandry, but Evenki are spread over huge
distances of present day Russia, China and Mongolia.
Turi and Sara will be visiting the Mongolian reindeer herder and
minority culture festival. in a unique opportunity for the Association
of World Reindeer Herders to connect with reindeer herders in China. The
visit will include a research seminar, a reindeer herders festical and
meetings with scientists and administrators in the region.
The community of reindeer herders of Aoluguya (in the North East of
China close to the Russian and Mongolian border) were recently relocated
by the authorities, and there are attempts to create a reindeer herders
village, a venture in part organised by the Finnish Poyry consulting
company who visited Kautokeino ealier this year.
