With the support of Taas-Yuryakh Neftegazodobycha (part of Rosneft), the IV Congress of Reindeer Herders was held in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The large-scale event was attended by more than 250 participants from 20 districts of the republic, as well as guests from Mongolia and China.
The congress is held in Yakutia once every four years and is of great importance for the indigenous peoples of the North, traditionally engaged in reindeer herding – the Evens, Evenks, Dolgans, Yukaghirs and others.
Preservation of the national culture of the indigenous peoples of the North and their traditional way of life is one of the significant areas of Rosneft’s social policy. The Company’s enterprises implement many social projects in the regions of their operations, develop the infrastructure of northern villages, help reindeer herder families, improve the material and technical base of educational institutions, social and medical facilities in the areas of original residence of indigenous peoples.
The head of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) Aisen Nikolaev took part in the opening of the Reindeer Herders’ Congress and thanked Rosneft for its assistance in organizing such a large-scale event.
During the Congress, its participants discussed issues related to preserving the traditional way of life, attracting young people to the ancient national trade and other relevant topics. The Arctic State Agrotechnological University held advanced training courses for reindeer herders.
The congress ended with the Republican Games of Reindeer Herders – a bright celebration of national culture and sporting traditions. Participants competed in reindeer sled races, lasso throwing, towing a skier on a reindeer, and a combined relay race. The spectacular competitions were supplemented by performances by ethnic creative groups, a display of traditional national clothing and stylized clothing of the indigenous peoples of the North of Yakutia.
The event also included a children’s drawing competition “Reindeer”, a photography exhibition “World of Nomadism”, an exhibition-fair of folk crafts and a republican competition “Nomadic Family”.
