Culture genesis of the peoples of the north of the Yenisei. Interaction of cultures (on the basis of the materials of Krasnoyarsk regional local lore museum)

Abstract

One of the aspects of the culture genesis of the peoples of the North of the Krasnoyarsk Territory is studied in the article. Mutual influence of the indigenous peoples of the North of Central Siberia and the Russian population in the field of material and spiritual culture is described. Christianization of the aboriginal population adjoins the penetration of shamanism into the beliefs of Russians. Dolgans and Kets borrow new types of transport and dwellings from Russians. The autochthonous population transmits to the Russian superethnos its methods of management and clothing, borrowing, in turn, items of industrial production and food products. Tobacco smoking and alcohol are becoming widely spread. Detached dwelling of aboriginal peoples leads to the borrowing of funeral rites, household items and decorations, hunting and fishing methods, as well as reindeer herding from neighbors.
