Evenki – eternal nomads of Asia
Abstract
In the domestic historical literature, there are many studies on the history, ethnogenesis and culture of the Evenki (Tungus), one of the largest ethnic groups among the small peoples of the north of Yakutia. And at the same time, to this day, there are many “blank spots” that are just waiting to be clarified. The purpose of this article is an attempt to fill in the knowledge of some aspects of the past life of the Evenki (Tungus) in Eastern Siberia, which can shed additional light on the little-studied pages of their history. The authors used a wide variety of sources, including literary materials and Evenki (Tungus) myths and legends, bearing in mind that they are based on the real life of peoples.
