Evenk People
The Evenk people are an indigenous group primarily found in Siberia, Russia. They traditionally inhabit regions around the Baikal Lake and the Amur River, relying on reindeer herding, hunting, and fishing for their livelihood. Their culture is closely tied to the natural environment, and they have a rich tradition of oral storytelling and shamanistic practices.
Evenks speak the Evenki language, which belongs to the Tungusic language family. Today, many Evenks face challenges due to modernization and environmental changes, but efforts are being made to preserve their cultural heritage and language. They continue to celebrate their traditions through festivals and community gatherings.
