La culture de l’autonomie héritée des « gens des forêts » du Baïkal
For a long time, the forest environment west of Lake Baikal in southern Siberia has been home to very small acephalous hunting groups, including indigenous Buryat groups, the Ehirit-Bulagat. They gradually became horse breeders like their Mongolian parents, then farmers like the Russian settlers, wh...

For a long time, the forest environment west of Lake Baikal in southern Siberia has been home to very small acephalous hunting groups, including indigenous Buryat groups, the Ehirit-Bulagat.

They were seen as hunters and described as « inextensible » by their Buryat parents in eastern Baikal, the Hori, who sought to increase their herds while practising certain forms of hunting.
