Description
[National Geographic Wallpaper] Caribou Farm (시베리아 순록목장)

Siberia, Russia
1996
Maria Stenzel

Though archaeological evidence points to the beginnings of caribou domestication at 2,000 years ago, the Nenets' tradition of mass herding is no more than 400 years old.
As the Russian Empire expanded eastward from Moscow, other native peoples encroached on the Nenets' caribou hunting grounds in their flight. The Nenets coped by switching to caribou herding, which allowed them to escape the population influx and move northward with their livelihood intact.
