A Life-Story (1980)

Original title: Elamise lugu

Documentary Duration 10:26

The Ket people (formerly known as Yenissey Ostyak people), a small nation in Siberia, forms only a fragment of a nation in Krasnoyarsk Krai in 1980s (with the population of about 1000 people). It is known that these people habitated the territories already during the Paleozoic era. About half of the Ket people have started to live in Kellog village-like districts and their connections to their roots (natural way of living, fishery, nature religion, Shamanism) are disappearing.
