Samotlorneftegaz (part of the Rosneft oil production complex) held the Festival of Ethnic Culture of Indigenous Peoples of Yugra in the Nizhnevartovsk District of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. The large-scale event was attended by more than 500 representatives of different peoples living and working in the Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug.
Preservation of national culture and traditional way of life of indigenous peoples of the North is one of the significant areas of Rosneft’s social policy. The company annually implements large-scale projects to support indigenous peoples in the regions of its operations.
During the folklore festival, many interactive events were held aimed at intercultural communication with the Khanty and Mansi peoples. The festival was timed to coincide with the beginning of the “little winter” according to the natural calendar of the Ob Ugrians, who, according to centuries-old traditions, strive to live in harmony with the environment. Representatives of the indigenous people of Yugra, through rituals, told about the philosophy of their peoples, living in harmony with the environment and maintaining the natural balance.
Folk craftsmen held various master classes on national decorative and applied arts. Festival guests learned how to make amulets from natural materials, the traditional Khanty doll akan, and jewelry using ornamental patterns.
A separate area hosted ethnosports events of indigenous peoples, which originate from the traditional way of life of reindeer herders and are an integral part of the unique culture of the Khanty and Mansi. Guests took part in northern all-round competitions, which included jumping over sleds, archery, and pulling a stick on a reindeer skin.
Artistic numbers were performed on the concert stage, and in the guest tent visitors were treated to national cuisine. The ethnofestival ended with a large-scale round dance of friendship of peoples.
