Reindeer breeding is probably one of the rarest professions. In our
region, on Yamal, there are approximately 14,000 man that live
together with the herds of deers. These people in majority are “Nentsi”
by nationality and are representatives of native population. They are
very hardworking and hospitable. The native population of Yamal lives
in the remote corners of peninsula. They have the same way of life as
several hundred years in the past. It is necessary to spend about week
to get to the nearest village by a deer. Therefore it is possible to get to
the hospital only by a helicopter.
