The Tsaatans

The reindeer herders of Mongolia live in Taiga, in the Northern part of Mongolia. In the local language they are called the Tsaatans which means "people who owns reindeers".


They are not the only people who have domesticated the reindeers, but they are the only tribe in the world who still travel on the back of the reindeers.

The Tsaatans are shamanic people, they believe in tengrinism.
