Evenki

The Evenki are an Indigenous people traditionally inhabiting Siberia in Russia and parts of China. Known for their nomadic lifestyle, they historically relied on reindeer herding, hunting, and fishing to sustain themselves in the harsh Arctic and sub-Arctic environments. Their rich cultural heritage includes distinctive languages, shamanistic spiritual practices, and craftsmanship such as clothing and tools adapted to extreme conditions. Today, many Evenki work to preserve their traditions while also integrating into modern society, facing challenges related to cultural preservation and land rights. They are recognized for their resilience and deep connection to the natural landscapes they have inhabited for centuries.
