| Scope and content |
This collection of 13 documents, all in English, provides cultural and historical information, circa 1850 to 2011, about the Nenets of the Far North. The oldest documents in the collection were compiled by a Russian missionary who lived in the area in 1826-1830 (Veniaminov 1855) and two Russian government officials who visited the area in 1844 (Islavin 1847) and 1894 (Engelhardt 1894). Together with an essay by an unknown author which appeared in 1823 (Samokvasov 1876), these three documents provide the first systematic attempts at understanding Nenets people prior to their increasing incorporation into the Russian empire. Other earlier works in the collection include Lehtisalo's works on hunting practices and equipment (Lehtisalo 1918) and aspects of religion and mystical beliefs (Lehtisalo 1924). The basic source to consult is E. D. Prokofeva's essay which provides an overview of Nenets culture and history including territorial reorganization and aspect of change brought about by the Russian conquest (Prokofeva 1964). The earlier and condensed information in the above sources is supplemented and updated by other documents which focus on a specific theme including continuity of ethnic identity (Golovnev and Osherenko 1999), dynamics of settlement and resource use (Svoboda et al. 2011), property rights and transformation (Osherenko 1995), indigenous leadership (Golovnev 1997) and effects of mineral and oil exploitation on reindeer herding practices (Tuisku 2002). |
