- Mongolian Reindeer PeopleIncredible photos and captions of people and their animals who have co-existedfor centuries in one of the most isolated and unforgiving areas in the world !Mongolian Nomadic tribe lives among the reindeer.
When we think of reindeer, most of us jump to the same imagery:the North Pole, snow and Christmastime.
When you think of reindeer, your mind might not immediately go to the Altai Mountains of
Outer Mongolia in Central Asia. Here, a nomadic tribe lives among the reindeer.
The lives of the real-life reindeer riders have fascinated outsiders for generations.
The idyllic land was described in 518 B.C.E. by Greek poet Pindar as "Hyperborea" and
the tribe as a healing race living peacefully with â€neither disease not bitter old age is
mixed in their sacred blood; far from labor and battle
The tribe's contemporary name is the Mongolian Taïga Dukha, for the Taïga region mountain
range in Khövsgöl, Mongolia.
It's neighbored by the Russian border and the remote Darkhad valley.
Much of the area is under natural protection, although it's noted for its inaccessibility and
remoteness, even by local standards.
Although the Dukha call the area home, they are certainly not a dominating force:
they readily share their space with an incredible array of their animal neighbors.
