Reindeer Herder in Northern Mongolia 🇲🇳 Mongolia’s Tsaatan Reindeer Herders; a diminishing nomadic tribe who live in depths of Taiga in northern Mongolia are one of last groups of nomadic reindeer herders in the world. There about 400 Dukha people of 70-80 families live in communities, usually a group of two to seven households. Mongolian reindeer people life is completely dependent on Reindeer they herd, often moving their small encampment tepees 5-10 times a year in search of suitable weather and moss for reindeer. This vast region is home to several thousand square kilometres of natural habitat classified as taiga (boreal forest) located within the Shishged River watershed of Altai-Sayan mountains (largest mountain range in southern Siberia) and provides home range for world’s southern-most indigenous reindeer population and their herders – Tsaatan. Mongolia’s Tsaatan reindeer herders are Mongolia’s smallest ethnic minority – a community of nomadic reindeer herders with strong shamanist beliefs. Originally from Tuva in Siberia, they have historically inhabited the border region of Russia and Mongolia. Ethnically, community identifies as Dukha, but their lifestyle as reindeer herders earned them Mongolian name Tsaatan, which means roughly ‘with reindeer.’ At end of 20th Century Mongolian reindeer number decreased drastically from 2280 to 616. Thanks to number of organizations, individuals, foundations, as well as Mongolian government contributed the Dukha tribe to keep their traditional way of life and increase reindeer head. Mongolian reindeer herder Tsaatans proudly celebrated 2000 Reindeer Festival in August 2019. Indeed, Mongolia reindeer number reached 2690 by 2020. Tsaatans use the reindeer as the main way of transportation such as travel for hunting, collection of firewood, as a pack animal for seasonal migrations, visiting relatives and friends, and traveling to town for shopping and trade. Reindeer milk is part of Tsaatans' staple food from which they make cheese, milk tea, butter, and yogurt. A reindeer gives 96-100 liters of thick and rich milk during milking season. Tsaatans occasionally eat reindeer meat, but overall they prefer to increase reindeer number instead of slaughtering. Tsaatans or Dukha people begin training reindeer for riding when reindeer are two years old ridden by children because adults are too heavy to ride two-year-old. However, ridden by adults at age of three when reindeer are strong enough. During nomadic movement, male reindeer usually carry loads weighing about 40kg while females carry up to 30kg. When weather is cooler, reindeer are vigorous and healthy. Dukhas usually settle down at an altitude of 2300m above the sea level, but 1800m in winter where they can be sheltered and avoid frigid winds. Snow is not an obstacle for reindeer to find and eat moss because they can dig in the snow with their hooves and find moss easily. Young males are castrated after mid-September when weather cools down. The end of September to early October is a mating season for reindeer. The gestation period for a reindeer is about seven months. Monthly, Mongolian government has been granting some amount of money both for adults and children in the community. Another source of income is tourism but it covers a few of the households depending on their encampment locations. Though, eco-friendly travel is vital. They randomly sell reindeer or its skin. Instead, hunt in mountains in autumn for winter food. Tsaatans have closest relation with nature and know how to use the herbs and plants for medicinal purposes or food. Surplus medicinal plants, berries, and pinecone nuts are sold in nearby towns or bartered in exchange for food and clothes. They, also catch fish spearing them with long poles. 🎥 : Dukha man singing a native song, while riding a reindeer 🎥© bagaa_adventurer (IG) #archaeohistories
