Intriguing Ket People – The Last Nomadic Hunter-Gatherers Of Siberia
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Today, there are no more than 1,088 Ket people left. Only a few of them are Native speakers who master the Ket language. The rest speak Russian. The Ket people, who have their home in the Yenisei River basin, are the last nomadic hunter-gatherers of Siberia, a part of Asia that has been home to various peoples and cultures for millennia.
Indigenous peoples such as the Ket and Khanty were previously referred to as the Ostyak by Imperial Russians.
Being descendants of fishermen and hunter tribes of the Yenisei taiga, the Kets originated from a region near the Altai Mountains or possibly somewhere near Lake Baikal. Considering the Ket people live in a remote part of Northern Russia, it is naturally challenging to learn as much as we would like about their history, traditions, and culture.
