1. Title: "Preserving the Past: A Khanty Summer Dwelling at the Okrug Ethnographic Museum in Khanty Mansiysk, Russia" 2.. The Okrug Ethnographic Museum in the heart of Khanty Mansiysk, Western Siberia, Russia, offers a unique glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous Khanty people. This photograph showcases a meticulously preserved summer dwelling of the Khanty tribe, displayed in the museum's open-air section, Torum Maa. The Khanty, also known as the Mansi, are an indigenous people inhabiting the forested areas of Western Siberia. Their traditional dwellings, known as "pomor," were designed to withstand the harsh climate and provide shelter during the summer months. This particular dwelling is a testament to their ingenious adaptation to the natural environment. Constructed from wooden poles and covered with birch bark, the pomor is a circular structure with a conical roof, which allows rainwater to flow off easily. The interior is divided into several sections, each serving a specific purpose. The central part is used for cooking and socializing, while the outer sections serve as sleeping quarters. The Khanty people have lived in harmony with nature for centuries, relying on hunting, fishing, and gathering for their livelihood. Their traditional way of life is deeply rooted in their spiritual beliefs and connection to the land. The Okrug Ethnographic Museum plays a crucial role in preserving this heritage by displaying authentic Khanty dwellings, tools, and artifacts. This photograph captures the essence of the Khanty people's resilience and their deep connection to the land, offering a glimpse into a way of life that has shaped the history of Western Siberia. The Okrug Ethnographic Museum serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of Russia's indigenous peoples.
