Annotation:

The photo shows men and women mounted on deer to migrate to a new winter camp. They are followed by deer loaded with packs. The Evenki roamed all year round together with their deer feed on pasturing grass. Looking for new grazing lands, herdsmen continuously changed the migration places. The length of their routes reached 100 kilometers per year. Abstract by M.V. Fedorova
