PDF-(BOOS)-The Reindeer People: Living With Animals and Spirits in Siberia

Since the last Ice Age the reindeers extraordinary adaptation to cold has sustained human life over vast tracts of the earths surface providing meat fur and transport Images carved into rocks and tattooed on the skin of mummies hint at ancient ideas about the reindeers magical ability to carry the human soul on flights to the sun These images pose one of the great mysteries of prehistory the reindeer revolution in which Siberian native peoples tamed and saddled a species they had previously huntedDrawing on nearly twenty years of field work among the Eveny in northeast Siberia Piers Vitebsky shows how Eveny social relations are formed through an intense partnership with these extraordinary animals as they migrate over the swamps ice sheets and mountain peaks of what in winter is the coldest inhabited region in the world He reveals how indigenous ways of knowing involve a symbiotic ecology of mood between humans and reindeer and he opens up an unprecedented understanding of nomadic movement place memory habit and innovationThe Soviets attempts to settle the nomads in villages undermined their selfreliance and mutual support In an account both harrowing and funny Vitebsky shows the Evenys ambivalence toward productivity plans and medals and their subversion of political meetings designed to control them The narrative gives a detailed and tender picture of how reindeer can act out or transform a persons destiny and of how prophetic dreaming about reindeer fills a gap left by the failed assurances of the stateVitebsky explores the Eveny experience of the cruelty of history through the unfolding and intertwining of their personal lives The interplay of domestic life and power politics is both intimate and epic as the reader follows the diverging fate of three charismatic but very different herding families through dangerous political and economic reforms The books gallery of unforgettable personalities includes shamans psychics wolves bears dogs Communist Party bosses daredevil aviators fire and river spirits and buried ancestors The Reindeer People is a vivid and moving testimony to a Siberian native peoples endurance and humor at the ecological limits of human existence.
