Reindeer People
Friday, December 16, 2005
During the winter, the Eveny people of northeast Siberia live in the coldest inhabited region of the globe. They’re able to survive thanks to reindeer—for meat, fur, and transportation.

He describes their unique existence in his latest book, The Reindeer People: Living with Animals and Spirits in Siberia.
