RN-Vankor (part of the Rosneft oil and gas complex) acted as the general partner of the main holiday of the indigenous peoples of the North – Reindeer Herders’ Day in the Taimyr village of Nosok. The event became the key cultural event of the already traditional EcoArctic forum, held in Krasnoyarsk Krai – the territory of the implementation of the flagship project of the Company Vostok Oil.
The most spectacular part of the festival was the reindeer sled race. More than 300 participants competed for the title of the fastest musher in men’s, women’s and youth races.
The indigenous people took part in northern competitions: jumping over sleds, pulling a stick and throwing a maut on a khorey (a lasso is thrown onto a long pole used to drive reindeer). The ethnic site also hosted a national clothing competition, women presented northern cuisine dishes made from fish and reindeer meat, and arts and crafts. The winners of all competitions received gifts from the oil workers.
The event ended with a large festive concert with the participation of local creative groups.
More than 1.5 thousand people live in the village of Nosok, of which almost 90% are representatives of indigenous peoples leading a nomadic lifestyle. Preservation of the national culture and traditional way of life of the indigenous peoples of the North is one of the significant areas of Rosneft’s social policy.
Oil workers build housing for the indigenous population, develop the infrastructure of northern villages, help families of reindeer herders, improve the material and technical base of educational institutions, social facilities and healthcare institutions in the areas of traditional residence of the indigenous peoples of the North.
