The Yamal Peninsula in northwestern Siberia is one of the few remaining places on earth where a nomadic people retain a traditional culture. Here in the tundra, the Nenets-one of the few indigenous minorities of the Russian North-follow a lifestyle shaped by the seasonal migrations of the reindeer they herd. For decades under Soviet rule, they weathered harsh policies designed to subjugate them. How the Nenets successfully resisted indoctrination from a powerful totalitarian state and how today they face new challenges to the survival of their culture-these are the subjects of this compelling and lavishly illustrated book.The authors-one the head of a team of Russian ethnographers who have spent many seasons on the peninsula, the other an American attorney specializing in issues affecting the Arctic-introduce the rich culture of the Nenets. They recount how Soviet authorities attempted to restructure the native economy, by organizing herders into collectives and redistributing reindeer and pasture lands, as well as to eradicate the native belief system, by killing shamans and destroying sacred sites. Over the past century, the Nenets have also witnessed the piecemeal destruction of their fragile environment and the forced settlement of part of their population. To understand how this society has survived against all odds, the authors consider the unique strengths of the culture and the characteristics of the outside forces confronting it.Today, the Yamal is known for a new reason: it is the site of one of the world's largest natural gas deposits. The authors discuss the dangers Russian and Western developers present to the Nenets people and recommend policies for land use which will help to preserve this remarkable culture.For information on the documentaries about life-both human and animal-above the Arctic Circle that Andrei V. Golovnev and Gail Osherenko have made, visit www.filmsfromthenorth.com.

Veel nomaden hebben zich na de val van het communisme weer bekeerd tot oude tradities en de open vlakte en ze organiseren zich steeds meer op het gebied van politiek en cultuur. Maar er is ook een keerzijde zichtbaar. Corruptie, problemen met landrechten, alcoholisme, globalisering, droogte, armoede en klimaatsverandering maken het steeds moeilijker om vast te houden aan de oorspronkelijke manier van leven. De foto's van Jeroen Toirkens, winnaar van de eerste prijs Zilveren Camera in 2009, zijn het resultaat van twaalf reizen naar de meest afgelegen gebieden op aarde. Met zijn project NomadsLife brengt hij al jarenlang de eeuwenoude leefwijze van nomaden in beeld. Zolang het nog kan, want door verstedelijking, globalisering en klimaatverandering staan deze volkeren onder constante druk.
