to must have less than that goes to have less will probably that's up to my minimum does what is we'll just do it in the polls and use them in my own way this to allow them by so football for them to show right. only conflict of interest to you. yes, you will. do you want me to you pretty much lose the the

is it possible to get lost in time? well, come to come chuck a and see for yourself here. several unique ethnic groups are remaining in their own bubble of sorts surrounded by these beautiful landscapes. we've come to see how the natives of rushes, far, far east lives and preserve the entrance additions and culture. and if we've come this far, we know that it's going to be worth the journey here here, here. here. i

the so one thing that i've come to learn here in contract to is it really is a true melting pot. many different cultures coming together, but the edelman were believe to be the 1st people to come to contract that you yourself, are you? tillman. and where do you come from? usually it's not good up the street. we don't know from where the it to him and came to come shatka. there are several theories, but none have been proven. one hypothesis says that it's woman sales here from hawaii. another claims we tracked from an goal. yeah. some say we originate in america. however, the implement call themselves the people living here long. yeah, that's what it tillman literally means a local. so archeologist proved that the it's women have been living here for over 8000 years. they were here before the corey x, the chief chief, the events and the alley. read his book. our ancestors had spread across these

parts. before their arrival. they worked the land, they fish ton to the sea, mammals gather, did woodwork and grass for etc. and we, their descendants continue those traditions. so the german scientist george stellar. he was also a traveller. he has a theory that and you already touched on this a little bit. the edelman and the north american natives are the same. people you've been to canada, you've been to north america in the states. what's your thoughts? what's in just were often told that we look like the theme get the turkey, etc. look you, nobody at the but i see differences and they see them to our language as are different. and so our, our cultures dance, for example, our traditional activities are not the same either. sure. there's a similarity when you visit one of their villages. you look like you could easily

blend in, but the clothes are different, traditions and culture as well to time. so i think we're different from them in that were indigenous to come chattanooga, they have their own tribes and a sniff cities with their own rich cultures. and traditions. you mentioned earlier that uh the the mentor believe to come here to contract to 8000 years ago in that 8000 years. are there still traditions from them that you still have in your daily life, in your daily routine? the yes we do have these traditions. we still celebrate the implemented ritual festival of all like, like our ancestors we chase evil spirits away. all our women get together and make all faces and scream their heads off until evil spirits the car to leave our homes and our families. we still dance till we draw because we still love to have fun seeing her deal us and dance like our ancestors did. boredom was a major's and for them having fun, enjoying life,

feeling happy is one of the most important pursuits for the it's woman to leave you a great to me and you and we still respect this tradition of ours. you to look for those we so we've grass baskets using c, we'd towards the end of august we go to the pacific shore to gather seaweed. we use it to cover our typical it's omen dwellings, pit houses and bala guns with them while ago. and then there's fish, of course, with the fish is our livelihood. when we stow fish dry fish ro we'd dry, you cooler, a fish meat that comes from salt guys, simon, chum, salmon, and co host. simon. we make a lot of preserves for ourselves and for our dogs, we pick berries for us. if you don't go foraging then it's like you haven't lived that year. as soon as berries come out, you feel this urge within you. you want to go and pick them, and i'm not talking about picking raspberries and strawberries and the garden. i'm

talking about cranberries blue, honeysuckle and crowd berries. in a sense we modern it's women still follow the traditional life style of our forefathers. we talk to the earth spirits negotiate with them, and think them during specific parts of the year. exactly when our ancestors did the same. one of the traditions that you have in the abilities that you have, i would say, is being able to cook using wooden pots without an open fire. for me, that stuff seems impossible. how do you do that? there's our ancestors didn't use iron. this is a steel knife, but in the past tools would be made of obsidian or stone. these days we cook like everyone else and it's the women who do it. in the ancient times, however, men were in charge of the cooking. they would heat stones in a fire and put them inside, wouldn't pots with water and pieces of fish by replacing cold stones with hot ones

from the fire. they would simmer the fish sou if it gets really delicious. our traditional, ancient way of cooking is much better and preserving all the whole, some properties of fish with of what they didn't use salt. i'd suggest to give it a try. it's a physically challenging process, so how to solve it to them. when you get hot standing next to a fire, they would strip to the waist and sometimes even remove their pens is but suddenly cooking would it be done inside the pit house, they had special wooden tools to help them pull stones from the fire, dropped them inside the pots and put them back. i want to ask about the raven. i know that it's very important to the gentleman culture, but it's also important in ireland, the irish and goddess of war. more than it is also surrounded by raven, she appears as a raven, the scandinavian god. odin also is surrounded by ravens. why do you think that this

icon of the raven is so important to the woman and across many different indigenous cultures on us, you could have the corey x and that you could. you also believe that could kenya code the raven created, come child good and gave birth to the corey act and the troop 2 people in the tillman believe that the could the raven, together with his wife eat home, created the land of come chattanooga. we see this differently from the cory x and the choke. she for whom this land was the rock lifted from the depths of the ocean . for us this land as a living thing, more than once upon a time, the codes and a home that were flying over these parts. and all they could see was an expanse of water. they landed, and the raven was able to stand. but his wife sang to her chest and there she gave birth to their son seems cut in which means or isn't working for n quotes, the raven made him become land,

which means we walk upon the land of quotes and the homes. first sun seems coming. when we call to the spirit of the earth, it seems good in we talk to what we say seems good in. thank you. please help us. later they had more our children end at some point, the tillman came into existence. is it a coincidence? such many consider the raven to be there for father, a wise bird, or some kind of an important character in our story. i don't know. what i know is that the raven holds a lot of symbolism for russians as well. it's symbolizes wisdom, a sort of intellectual force that sees every thing. it's a hard question to answer, but i like the fact that we share some characters, be that metaphorical representations are actual spirits. we believe in the unify us . it means humanity used to be one. it just means tribes split apart at some point and went their separate ways. the raven, however,

remains that link which still binds us together. just the news. i'm sure that at some level our cultures have something in common in your push, the way we see ourselves and perceive our connection to nature role. it's my understanding and we've talked about this a little bit already in this conversation. the dance is very important to the gentleman culture. but in the past dance was a asking for a good hunt or maybe asking for good health. does dance today have the same type of meaning for you or is it more just a tradition? nip? no, our dances are also rituals. you enter a sort of trends during the it's and then festival of how i like. we hold the russian traditional dance championship for the indigenous people of come shatka, where we dance for 17 hours, non stop there we share energy,

communicate with our tribes, the earth, and the spirit, the, the, the minutes. an unforgettable experience. each indigenous dance is a story, a way to get in touch with higher powers and the energy that surrounds us. air, water, earth, fire, and the spirits of animals which we sometimes also invoke in our dance. through many years ago the gentleman used to dance, so they literally dropped from exhaustion over generations and generations of different ethnic groups with income check. i have mixed. is it safe to say that the

cultures and traditions of the different groups have mixed to become and unique come track a culture can years but the youth certainly traditions and cultures are mixed. and traditionally gloria command and women never dense close to each other. they dance their separate dances, each in their own bible. the atonement are very different. always i see a man, you should get the issue because she's a woman means and we go the the,

the cory to the doctor, this dance practice now the to condense together and have fun. there's a cross pollination of cultures. on the one hand, it's beautiful on the other. it's becoming more difficult to make. the distinction is and figure out what austin took it to him and culture is a and that's but there are no more pure it tillman, tillman. families are all mixed with other ethnic groups. the 1st of all, i want to thank you for bringing us in here to have this look into your life,

into your culture. it's fascinating. thank you. i guess i want to ask 1st uh, what does it mean to be caught out? where do the credit people come from? and what does it mean to you? not to do that. there is a distinction. you to go there are coastal connex, the num lawn, and 200 corrects the trust to them who heard reindeer. and let's say that they're known as rich folks because they have huge herds and reindeer are highly prized by c. r grandmas who raised and taught us some of village would always say that the correct main treasure were a large family. a really large one under heard of dear kid. that's why people took good care of their families and know reindeer reindeer, maybe even took priority. as they were essential to life by side all our clothes, everything we have everything our ancestors had. it all revolved around reindeer. when they made clothes or a reindeer meat, they used to say that the animals lived on with them. we were skin live,

the life goes on. you can see that we're surrounded by reindeer hines. and i can see that they're working specifically on making these beautiful clothes that you're known for. um, it seems to me that it would be incredibly difficult to make all of these close and by hand. do you have specific tools that you use to is to make your clothes that was in. so yes, we do. uh well for the for civilization came to us so to speak. there were these old tools are, these are the tips for the connection? yes, they were created naturally. i think a lot, they're very old. that's a kind of we have we did this rock is used to carry leather. what at the sound with this is the best traditional tool to think its own is that an individual can score . so here's a more modern version from the time when we began using iron throughout the course, google on boston,

which is sharper than stone. most i've seen that when my grandma had me tana hyde, was this iron tool, and she didn't give me a high quality piece because she knew i would rip it to me or whatever. so she gave me anything that wasn't valuable to renewals can result in show that we just do what we use to use this board for tanning. will you place it like this style and put the deer skin on top of it? of the image and i am not going to press hard now because this piece has already been attend school. otherwise i would be going like this. i thought to put your arms get really tired of these, but that's how you build muscles and become very strong. easily sent to you. so we remove the top layer. we grease the hide with deer mux several times 3 or 4.

so it becomes soft when it's soft like this, we can further process it using our hands. okay. how much time does it take for you to make a specific piece of closing? let's say a coffee on code for a for code, for example. regarding how long it takes and it isn't much depends on what the craft artist plan is, how detailed and beautiful she wants this piece of clothing to be. there is also burial clothing. it is our custom to have that ready when people are still alive. today it would be very unusual, but our people have this tradition and then you know, we made our own burial clothes. it would take 3 or 4 similar pieces to make a complete set for women, my size touch and feel how soft it is is very cool. now i understand that you decorate so beautifully your closing with bands and symbols. are they just decorative or do they have meaning?

it's just you just put them in your room because all, i'll show you a piece so you can compare these ornaments are called sun. today, we call them your google and cut ax, meaning moons. you correct? still use the lunar calendar for seasons based on the lunar faces. the correct people know how to get their bearings using the moon and stars. well, not our ancestors were really good at finding their way like this for so i kind of back a visa or nimble up with, you know, beads were brought here and exchange for local products. we didn't have beats before that. and local craft women took a liking to them once new because they added the beauty to the traditional needlework patterns and brought out there also intensity review. i'm talking about the traditional moves. our ancestors used to embroider on their quotes without beads. they may beads of their own from natural materials like fish bones, shells and deer hair. just one book here, i'll show you

a question to you. this is an authentic codec son pattern, or a movie, as we call it. so can you tell me a little bit more about what the symbols and bends me and specifically i am in the cracks, display their lifestyle in these decorations, just leaving the world. now, some of the most important thing for them was the dear fish as the water line. and so most often to pick deer antlers or mountains volcanoes or tree branches to the coastal corrects. also called lawns, lived along the coast. so they had these wave patterns as for the colors they used, there weren't as many color options as today. well, they mostly used red, black and white. they're ornaments. elizabeth, what the levels come down my grandma used to say when we decorated my for jacket on the news that you need to take inspiration from the ground. black or brown

represents earth. yeah, green is for grass. we didn't have green or light blue for example. the choice of colors was limited to the basic or black, red and white. white is the color of sanctity purity, red as the color of defense, it gives you protection. that's it. a. back in those days are crossed, swimming also made carpet switch, told their family stories, see if there was no writing system. so ornaments told stories you could tell from those pictures the families occupational to even tragic incidents were depicted whole from when someone died or was killed away from home. family history was passed down in order to minimize the there's a legend about a no man who room to the earth with his reindeer. when the animal google's and weary, it turned to his master and said, kill me to drink my blood and we will become one. my soul will come back to earth

and giving birth to a new ranks of reindeer people. we are now headed across the tundra of contract to meet the descendants of those very people, deep evans, the so you're out here with no signs in the middle of nowhere, no communication. how do you know where to go this month? we have a special route so we can't go beyond certain limits because that's outside, i'll post you. so we pay for the right to keep our animals in certain areas and for hunting the land of near the climate fact as to it's very hard to dig. if there's a lot of snow the, the account get to the most. so we need to move to another place with less snow up to 50 centimeters. how many ranger do you have in your heard here? and so, is it difficult to control them? with this 2000, including the cough so that the number of fluctuates as some they have become sick or full prey to other animals, including 2 legged ones, most people that brackets us too. so we explore some stuff is low up on the it's

not easy to control the rain data. it depends on the past you'll end. or if you stay in the same place all the time, you will destroy the old, the most. it takes up to 25 years for new most to grow. you need at least 15 years for some of to appear. so we can't stay in the same spot. we need to keep the rain d a moving. i'll be looking for areas where there isn't a lot of snow or ice when you're out here in the nature, when you're with the ranger, what do you feel? what isn't it for you to? so for both the journey besides, i feel free out here because i'm not folded by, was there anything else that civilization doesn't get in the way? because there's no radio though, so i can't listen to the news that goes so find things out later, but just to just a little bit and ask for anything else present sorry about the dog footing as a very special place in the life of the indigenous people in come chunk of what seems like entertainment for some was once

a crucial method of survival in extreme weather. this american family is now reviving these ancient traditions the of the. now that is impressive. i'm sorry. all right, so let's get right to and i've heard the rumors that your children before, they can even walk are already in a sled. what is flooding to with these dogs? is it a sport? is it a way of life? is it an ancient tradition? talk to me about that. no good screw what they say the most. my wife participates in dunc side races, even when she's pregnant, supposed to be in by police. just like let's go with our kids are in the sled with her. who did so i still do, i'm sending for us is on life or life in the forest with dogs close to nature.

because even just through the time we pause cultural tradition and emotions down to our children. that very perceptive we will cuz they grow up surrounded by this strong healthy and learning from us, speeding up. and we think that they do dug, setting on their own and collect and i can tell your whole family is involved. so what exactly is a musher? and what you have to have in your skill set to become one that you're the marshal call you is dedicated to his dogs and he lives with them. is the musher drives the dog, said team, pull it up. i would call in the boss, believe the total. everything depends on the most. yeah. the entire life of his team. okay. instead, now, do you become a musher? people usually start with one dog and then the teams dogs growing with the 2nd side . now you do anything special to train your dogs to run or is this justin their jeans? yes, the women prepping for a race. it's like any athletes. and we dropped

a plan and tried to stick to it for me, which i believe these particular dogs have it in their blood. so we don't need to make extra efforts to brent, but don't just letting you just put it into the harness. it will get up to this lead and off it goes. i noticed an interesting phenomenon when they were getting ready to be hooked up. the entire group of them also started housing at once. what does this mean? is this a signal? is this a rally cry that they're getting ready to go running? or they, it's a very interesting question. yes. and you know, i don't remember anyone giving you a comprehensive answer to it. no. i think by housing, they express the unit, see an eking this to run is a line. yeah. do you think will show example once it will starts housing in the whole pack copies, install it down and see. but the same is happening here with the dogs and place. the manifestation of teen square is how this might seem like the most basic of questions. but how many dogs are there to a slab? is there a limit, or is there

a set number that have to be there where we use between 6 and 16 dogs for one said depending on what's required from a good take him to run. well, if it's a long distance for some 1500 to 2000 in columbus, is us we would use as many dogs as we can up to 16 by so i give it to show it to run 68 or 10 dogs have plenty me. now you know that different dogs have different roles on the sled, which implies the fact that they might have different psychological traits as well . how do you choose which specific dogs go where on a slide to monitor? that's what we see right from the start. and when the dogs are still puppies, right here, that kept in the kennel, and as they grow older, we start walking them. go. we take the mother on the lease and go to the forest for a walk using them we can wash the pumps and see that kind of i just right away. i need some opposite rank to have a not afraid to run ahead. we. we mark them as potentially dogs who will stay of

the team. that's what i mean, other pups or less active and only stay behind the brain of a one to see if they will go in the middle of the dog team on campus there. and some only staying close to, you know, going round your legs, but they will run away, but you have to, they are afraid to fall out of the rest of the team. the best source of these dogs will be harnessed in the rear of the team. i was letting him directly in front of the sledge, the wheel of dogs. they 1st, that's how they'll grow. so determined let an initial stage before the they show when you still in training. the dogs of the abilities will manifest themselves best . uh. is there ever a case where there's a dog that just isn't suited for running and what happens to that dog that happens was sometimes a dog is afraid to run in the hall and this with the team. it starts to slow down. we're going to even lie down. you can't use dogs like this. again, they're usually very good companion, so walks in the forest because they never run away. we have many such dogs here,

but they remain part of the family and stay here with the rest of the team. the we've traveled the breadth of the contract to peninsula taking in it's mesmerizing landscapes and people the they live in some of the harshest conditions known to man for wind and snow, the even making their homes amidst fire breathing volcanoes. here, there is total harmony between nature and people preserving the unique culture and identity, the

russian states. narrative as one of the most sense community best ingles is all set and set up. the standard assistance must be the one else calls question about this even though or we will then in the european union, the kremlin move the machine, the state on the russians cruising and split the r t spoke neck, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services, for what question did you say? even twist, which is the,

[000:00:00;00] the after 7 days, all serious and got the media says it didn't get to managed to extend this and very human theory and ceasefire. palestinian authorities say at least 109 people have been killed and dozens more injured amid renewed the idea of attacks on top of that . also i think chosen to hold on to how women come off will now take the most up of some things. israel says her mom will suffer a major reckoning for taking us citizens hostage and farms continued to rain down on god the civilians face a mounting catastrophe. i was asleep when i heard the sound of folding stones.

after that i heard my servants voices. then i heard people starting to dig,
