EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, taken in the spring season, a Selkup minority hunter from the Siberian North of Russia stands proudly beside his family in front of their traditional tepee. The scene unfolds in the lush forest near the river Taz, situated in the North Tumen region of Siberia. The Selkup people, also known as the Ostyaks, are an indigenous ethnic group with a rich history and cultural heritage. The hunter, dressed in traditional clothing, embodies the resilience and connection to nature that has sustained the Selkup community for generations. His strong, masculine presence is a testament to the physical demands of life in the Arctic climate. The family, consisting of adults and young children, gazes warmly at the photographer, their faces reflecting a deep sense of contentment and unity. The tepee, a traditional dwelling of the Selkup people, stands as a symbol of their heritage and adaptability. The circular structure, made of wooden poles and covered with animal hides, provides shelter and protection from the harsh elements. The tepee's proximity to the forest and river highlights the importance of nature in their daily lives. The Selkup people have a long history of hunting, which is an integral part of their culture and identity. The hunter's presence in the photograph underscores the importance of this tradition and the role it plays in the community's survival. The image captures a moment of connection between the family, their heritage, and the natural world, offering a glimpse into the rich and vibrant culture of the Selkup minority in the Siberian North.
