Buryats - Siberia, Russia
A group of The Buryats (or Buriyads) - the largest indigenous group in Siberia, mainly concentrated in their homeland, the Buryat Republic, a federal subject of Russia. They are the major northern subgroup of the Mongols. Buryats share many customs with other Mongols, including nomadic herding, and erecting gers for shelter. Today, the majority of Buryats live in and around Ulan-Ude, the capital of the republic, although many live more traditionally in the countryside. They speak in a dialect of Mongol language called Buryat.[3] Date: circa 1905

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Buryats, the largest indigenous people in Siberia, Russia, circa 1905. The Buryats, also known as the Buriyads, are the major northern subgroup of the Mongols, with their homeland being the Buryat Republic, a federal subject of Russia. In this image, the Buryats are seen collecting firewood in the Siberian wilderness, a traditional activity that reflects their nomadic herding lifestyle. The Buryats share many customs with other Mongols, including the use of gers (yurts) for shelter. However, the majority of Buryats today live in and around Ulan-Ude, the capital of the republic, while many continue to live more traditionally in the countryside. The Buryats speak a dialect of Mongol language called Buryat. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Buryats' connection to their land and their way of life. The group is seen carrying baskets, likely used for collecting firewood or other necessities. The woodpile in the foreground underscores the importance of fire for survival in the harsh Siberian climate. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Buryats, who have lived in Siberia for centuries. It is a testament to their resilience and adaptability in the face of changing times. The Buryats continue to preserve their traditions while embracing modernity, making them an integral part of Russia's diverse cultural landscape.
