Photo by Hamid Sardar-Afkhami - The Dukha nomadic tribe, also referred to as “Tsaatan,” a term that translates to “reindeer herder”, has lived in the region for centuries. During this time, they have developed a relationship with wild animals that is utterly amazing. Through their own brand of animal husbandry, the Dukha people have learned to use reindeer as a means of transportation over the treacherous terrain they call home. These days, there are only about 44 Dukha families left, totaling about 200-400 people. The reindeer herds are thinning as well. Children are taught how to train the reindeer at an early age. The reindeer, once accustomed to their human friends, are rather docile and gentle companions to even the smallest child. They make a living off of the tourist industry, as people often pay good money for performances, crafts and reindeer rides. They do not only domesticate reindeer, however. They also train wolves. Dukha also train golden eagles to aid in their hunting. Eagle hunting is held in high esteem and considered a privilege. Those who are able to do it are well respected in the community. The Dukha people believe they have a spiritual connection with all animals. This connection allows them to feel at home in nature and maintain their culture despite the encroaching outside world.
