«True people» (Nenei nenecha) – self-name of Nenets, the indigenous people of the Yamal peninsula, and the name of the complex 2015–2016 ethnographic expedition. Project participants and the visitors of the resource will be the part of the reindeer herders's family during the whole year just to «dive» in the casual life of the modern XXI century nomads.
The 9th of May - Victory Day - is a special day for people not only in Russia, but in many contries - this is the day when the Great Patriotic War finished. And we congratulate everybody!
Today we don't move forward, but for tomorrow another kaslanie is planned. The weather turned bad today: it's foggy, air temperature dropped a lot. Spring is usually the time when they tame young riding reindeers. At the moment they are still move freely, and special split sticks - longali - are hung on their necks.
These sticks make it easier to drive aminals to the corral. When these young reindeers are put into argish (with freight nartas), they remove the longali sticks. Today one of activities was also building the corral to teach these new riding reindeers (Nenets: longalitna).
