We used to see this land to small-scale maps, and consider it a little. But it is huge! From the head Penzhina Bay to the Bering Strait about 1300 km - both from Moscow to Sevastopol. Some call this distant corner of our country outskirts of Siberia, the other - the northern tip of the Far East. Let's see what actually is a Chukotka.

Traditional food tundra people - venison, shore - the meat and fat of marine animals. Deer meat eating ice cream (in the form of finely chopped) or poorly cooked. During the mass slaughter of deer harvested deer stomach contents, boil it with blood and fat.







Eat fresh and frozen blood of the deer. Soups with vegetables and cereals. Coastal Chukchi particularly wholesome thought walrus meat. Harvested in the traditional way, it is well maintained. From the dorsal and lateral parts of the carcasses are cut squares of meat with fat and skin. The clipping lay the liver and other innards peeled. The edges are sewn leather outside - turns out roll (k'opalgyn-kymgyt). Closer to cold the edges pull together even more, to prevent excessive acidification content. K'opalgyn eaten fresh, podkisshem and frozen form. Fresh walrus meat is cooked. In raw and cooked meat eating beluga and gray whales, as well as their skin with a layer of fat. In the northern and southern regions of Chukotka, a great place to take the diet chum salmon, grayling, saffron cod, sockeye salmon, flounder. Because of the large salmon harvest Jukola. Many Chukchi reindeer herders vyalyat, salted, smoked fish, salted eggs. Meat marine animals very fat, so it requires herbal supplements. Deer and coastal Chukchi traditionally ate a lot of wild herbs, roots, berries, seaweed. Dwarf willow leaves, dock, edible roots frozen, booze, mixed with fat, blood. From the roots, pounded meat and walrus fat, making balls. From a long time imported flour cooked porridge, fried tortillas seal fat.





















Now we will focus on mammal hunting and fishing, dog sledding, Chukchi hunters and much more.

Production of sea hunting for coastal Chukchi had enormous significance. The meat of slaughtered animals was the basis of their power. It is going to feed sled dogs. The skins of seals are used for sewing of summer clothes and shoes; walrus skins were used in the device yaranga (summer tires, litter on the floor), on canoes and so tight. etc .; made from the skins of bearded seal soles and straps of different widths and thicknesses for the economic and commercial needs. Dogsledding whole was made of the skins of marine animals. Walrus tusk went to small crafts, whale bones - on podpolozya for sledges and so on.. Thus, the welfare of the coastal population is entirely dependent on the successful hunting of marine animals.



















Lorincz mined walruses. Seals hunted individually and hunting walrus and especially on China produces collectively. Walrus hunted mainly in spring and summer (from the beginning of May to October). In the fishing went on a canoe. On the nose canoes were one or two harpooner, middle-5 or 6 rowers on korme- "baydarny boss" (the owner of the canoe). Having found floating among the ice walrus hunters caught up with them, and Harpoon throwing harpoons in them. The float of seal skins, to remove the "stocking" and inflated with air (displacer), attached to a belt harpoon, impede the passage of the wounded walrus, who sought to escape, and gave sink slain beasts and pointed out its location. Exhausted finished walrus spear towed to a nearby ice floe and Pron there Flay. In the hunt for the whale involved several canoes. Carefully oars approaching the whale hunters threw spears at him, longer than the walrus, and provided with 2-3 pairs of floats. We seek prostrate whale special long spear and towed to shore. In the second half of the XIX century. widespread firearms (threaded shops and special whaling gun); its use has led to the disappearance of some of the methods described hunting and other simplification. In winter and spring began to kill seals have air holes from a rifle. During the spring hunting there is no need to creep close to the slumbering seals, and therefore disappear and masking all its accessories (special clothes and scrapers). Sometimes they hunted directly with the sledge. Pochuev beast sled dogs raced so fast that the seal did not have time to leave the ice, and the hunter, jumping off the sledge, shot him. Leaving on the edge of the ice to the dogs, the hunters took to canoe a small sledge. Killed rifle seal pulled dropping - a special device with hooks on a long strap.



















Lunch in the tundra. This ancient land, seems to breathe eternity itself. The whole look of Chukotka laced with clarity, directness and nakedness. And in the third millennium, you can see the same landscape that once appeared eyes Russian pioneers: convincing the simple outlines of the coasts and the mountains, as if cut with a chisel straight valleys, lakes and unspoiled placer river poured into cold sea.

Do you know how warm, even in the fierce cold in yaranga? And have you ever ride on a dog sled and reindeer? And imagine if you like to hunt walrus and how tasty smelt caught with their hands?





















Chukotka - an amazing land, managed to save the life and the ability to prosperity in the harsh polar conditions. In the short northern summer, in the permafrost here every year is a miracle - a real riot of the rebirth of nature, an endearing person with its unique beauty. Gaumont bird colonies, deep blue sky merging with estuaries, the bright colors of the tundra-like colorful carpet ...

will focus on the emotional characteristics of the Chukchi, their character, names and much more.

Ethnic stereotypes against certain peoples of Russia often have no relation to their real nature and characteristics of behavior. Particularly "lucky" in this regard Chukchi. For example, they do not say always "but": their language rich enough to do without words-weeds. And the slowness inherent in the people, the apparent slow - only the necessary components of human survival in the Far North. Chukotka climate is extremely harsh. There is less oxygen in the air, the maximum days without sunlight. And the wind speed, the number of storms and hurricanes Chukotka has no equal.



Barber in the camp. Chukchi sleep little, and this despite the fact that the lead a very active lifestyle, a lot of moving. They say sleep is dangerous to be a slave. 4-5 hours is enough to recuperate. To survive in the Chukotka region, it is necessary to constantly work. The Chukchi are so accustomed to this that quietly can not sleep for several days. Do you know why the Chukchi dark skin? She sees better and saves energy. The conventional wisdom is that people in the North inhibited. But it is only at first glance seems so. In fact, they are just less than their emotions show. Chukchi are taught from early childhood that can not be unkind to look at a person to swear or, conversely, very pleased. All in order to maintain the integrity of the organism, the energy health. Look at the Southerners - that's where the solid emotions! All because of the fact that there is the southern sun and easy for people to get vitamins from plant foods.



Nature scarce and vulnerable. Northern continent receives little sun, so the recovery processes are very durable.







Indeed, the northern peoples completely different cuisine. They are worse than digest carbohydrate foods. And its products, the usual protein-fat food before even fermented. The product is "ripened" under certain conditions: the protein molecules are broken down into amino acids that are immediately absorbed by the body. The result - fewer calories expended on digestion.



























in Sireniki. The situation with the names of the Chukchi in general very difficult. It often happens that the name written in the passport, actually name. - My present name, - says Larisa Vykvyragtyrgyrgyna, methodologist for publishing the Chukchi Center of the Institute of Education and Training - is my husband's name, given to him at birth. When he received the passport, the name recorded as a surname, we so often do. My husband's name is translated as "returning to the stone houses," or there is a version of "returning home in stone." Before marriage I had my name. We have a person who is born into the world, be named in connection with the event occurring at the time of his birth. I was born in the summer, at a time when the kidneys sharp teeth sticking out the top of the green leaves. So they called me - Ryskyntonav. When I issued the birth certificate, the mother recorded Guanaut father - Tamm - without a name, patronymic, and I Ryskyntonav. And, too, with no middle name. After all, his father's name written as surname. The same could happen to our child, and it will be another "surname».





Life koralschikov. The nature of the Chukchi, their peace of mind, calmness, restraint, patience and affect how they speak. They have little to share their emotions, trying not to spill what they have inside. It's wealth that is easily lost. It used to be that when too much of something to say, it takes out of you, and spirits can take advantage of what you do not cherish. Even in love Chukchi recognized more subdued than other peoples. A man would never say to the woman: "I love you." In Chukchi it even sounds sloppy. Most feelings hinted some business or familiar. In an extreme case, can say: "I always think of you" or "I can not do without you." Chukchi women understand and appreciate such recognition.
