Beauty of the Dolgan and Siberian Altaic people and culture. Branch of the Altaic family: Dolgan and Yakuts; Turkic Evens and Evenks; Tungusic Note: Due to the rarest of Dolgan photos I used photos of Yakut (Sakha) and Tungusic reindeer herders. The Dolgan are mostly reindeer herders and the costumes you see in this video look similar to Dolgan costume. However the second photo and the last photo in this video are Dolgan.The music is a Yakut (Sakha) folk song. Here is some Dolgan pictures. However due to copyright I could not use them in the video. http://www.arcticphoto.co.uk/gallery2/arctic/peoples/dolgan/dolgan.htm ____________________________ Dolgans (Russian: долганы; self-designation: долган, тыа-кихи, саха) are a Turkic people, who inhabit Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. The 2002 Census counted 7,261 Dolgans. This number includes 5,517 in former Taymyr Autonomous Okrug. There are 26 Dolgans in Ukraine, four of whom speak Dolgani (2001 Ukrainian Census). Linguists believe that the Dolgans speak a dialect of the Yakut language, called Dolgan. Dolgan identity emerged in the 19th early 20th century, when some of the Evenks, Yakuts, Enets, and the so-called Tundra peasants migrated to the region away from the Lena River and Olenyok River. Originally, the Dolgans were nomadic reindeer breeders and hunters. They were eventually forced to settle and form kolkhozes during the Soviet times, engaging in reindeer breeding, hunting, fishing, dairy farming as well as market gardening). Most Dolgans belong to the Russian Orthodox Church; old animistic beliefs, however, survive among them. Quoted from Wikipedia.
