Abstract

The article presents materials derived from field research among the reindeer-herding Evenki of Tiania nasleg, Olëkmo raion, of the Sakha Republic [Yakutia] in April–May 2013.

Particular attention was devoted to the architecture of domestication—various structures built to restrict or guide the movement of reindeer.
