The Journey of the Bear  (Lidové noviny 2002)

 

A narration of stories belongs to ancient skills. This book includes myths, fairy tales, life stories, stories about shamans, man-eaters and bewitched places, which Tungusian hunters and nomads used to be telling and are still telling between two gulps of tea. These stories were recorded by myself and a Russian hunter and writer Vitaliy Voronov.

Evenk stories originated from the region around the rivers Podkamenna and Nizni Tunguzka, where the last nomads are living in taiga. I was doing my ethnographical researches (1991 – 1994) in the Evenk Autonomous Okrug. I tried to capture the difficult lifestyle of the nomads, how they are fighting against oil extraction and the consumer attitudes of the Western society that is coming to their region…
