The Chukchi - reindeer warriors of Siberia

 Salvete Omne,



a little change of climate, latitudes and quadrupeds - the reindeer herders of Siberia - the Chukchi.


Interesting historic book on the traveling and  wintering with the Chukchi and Eskimo/Inuit  in 1853 -  


Sledge & dogs - Siberian husky

the Chukchi clans of north-eastern Siberia had been the reindeer warriors for ages, participating in the endemic warfare of the Siberian tundra and taiga.
