With the support of RN-Uvatneftegaz (part of Rosneft), the Days of Indigenous Peoples Culture have started in the Tyumen Region. It is expected that over 1,200 guests will visit the festival in two weeks.
In the ethnographic center “Uvas Mir Hot” (House of Northern People), created with the support of “RN-Uvatneftegaz”, guests get acquainted with the rich culture of northern ethnic groups, their customs and traditions. The concert program of the opening of the festival included performances by dancers and throat singers accompanied by a jaw harp. Excursions around the ethnic camp were organized for adults and children, and they could also take part in games in national sports and taste dishes of national cuisine.
The Days of Culture will include interactive excursions and themed events for schoolchildren and large families. For residents of the Uvatsky District, the festival will also include performances by creative groups, competitions in national sports “Northern All-Around”, master classes in arts and crafts, an exhibition of photographs and works by northern poets and writers. Guests of the festival will also be able to watch the film “Master of the Taiga”, which introduces the unique culture and way of life of the Eastern Khanty. The festival program will end in the Uvatsky District, where 30 families of indigenous peoples live in 11 camps today.
The assistance of the oil producing company RN-Uvatneftegaz in organizing this and other traditional national holidays helps popularize culture and strengthen ties between families and generations.
The territory of “Uvas Mir Hot” hosts ritual festivals and cultural events, concerts, interactive excursions, local history and national language lessons, and master classes all year round. To immerse guests in the culture and life of indigenous peoples, the ethnic camp has recreated in detail a Khanty hut, a Nenets tent in summer and winter versions, a storage shed for food, a kitchen with a clay oven, a hunter’s hut, and animal enclosures. Interest in the “House of Northern People” is growing – since the beginning of the year, it has been visited by 14,800 tourists.
