Yar Sale, Yamal Peninsula, Siberia, Russia

1996

Maria Stenzel

Compulsory boarding school for Nenets children began in the era of
Soviet communism and is still the law today. Nenets culture has
prevailed, though--these schoolchildren are singing traditional songs
in front of a makeshift traditional chum (tent) inside their state
school.

(Text adapted from "Nenets: Surviving on the Siberian Tundra," March
1998, National Geographic magazine)
