Reindeer Ritual - Raw meat shared by family of Nenet Herders
Part 2 to our series about the ritual aspects of the Nenets of Northern Siberia. This is an educational video showing an ancient and sacred aspect of traditional life among the reindeer herders of northern Siberia. The reindeer (caribou) is everything to them, they herd them, and in the past they were a very important part of their shamanic tradition. The reindeer can survive in the harshest of climates, find its food under two fees (0.5m) of snow, and keeps the herders and their families alive when there is no other food available. In the far north of the region there is no firewood for cooking. Everything freezes solid within minutes. Warm fresh food is therefore a treat.

This comment section is much more pleasant than I expected
To be honest, there are a few comments I have taken down! Does your community use an interesting tents?
@@NomadArchitecture Some of us were semi-nomadic herders up until as late as the 1800s but not anymore since war sadly killed the last of our reindeer herds. Nomadic families used similar structures to the Nenets with bark, moss, and furs as insulation. Nowadays everyone just lives in traditional wooden houses in the villages, or have moved away to the cities for work, school etc. Our villages are mostly very poor so people aren't always able to stay.
which ethnicity if i may ask?

Most westerners are crappy incompetent people
@@coomerslayer420 I hope you saying this made you feel better about your life 🙏🏻
I think the intention of the warning was just to let people know there was animal slaughter involved. It is respectful to prewarn so that people can decide themselves whether to see that or not.
people always mention westerners on these type of videos
Very very true, my grandfather came from south eastern Europe, where if animals weren't hunted and killed by their own hand people would've starved to death. Moving to the west he couldn't believe how softened people were when it came to killing and eating animals, in fact he couldn't believe how most people just owned dogs for no purpose, where he was from the dog was groomed to be a protector and hunter and if it failed at them both it was shot and another would take its place

@@biopoint4457 what?
Actually everything in this is a waste. If you want to make use of every part of the animal this is not the way to do it. Plus, by eating raw, you lose most of the nutrients (cuz your body processes raw meat very badly).

@@ryu-ken don't cry here !
people seem detached from the process of how food gets to their table. it's understandable why someone would have a strong reaction to this, it's a part of modern culture. if everyone prepared meat products themselves, there wouldn't be any offense. nowadays the process is hidden away in slaughterhouses, where animals go through so much worse than in natural situations like shown in this video
I agree. This is why I learned to hunt. We skin, "quarter," process, and then freeze/eat the deer meat. We've used the antlers as racks for coats, shoes, decorations, etc., I dry and cut the pelts in strips for making cuff bracelets that I sew and decorate to sell so that I can live as a children's book writer and illustrator with two young children in tow. I have yet to figure out what to do with the rest of the deer except to give it back to the Earth, coyotes, vultures, and other predators. I don't think I could eat it raw dipped in blood, but we do always thank God for the provision and the deer for his life.
Totally agree. Western life has detached us from living life with nature and made us think meat comes ready made and in a little container or on a burger. We forget that an animal had to sacrifice its life for us to eat. I think these videos are beautiful and can teach us all that people still live like this, in touch with nature and mother earth.
Facts
Well said, these animals are much healthier too because they roam and don't know cages or abuse aside from being killed by hunters.
FACTS 100%
This was beautiful to watch. This is what complete connection with nature and animals looks like, what human survival looks like. Thanks for sharing.
Really beautiful, nature provides such abundance! And that baby looks super healthy!
Well said. I can't agree with you more.
It offends me that a statement is needed apologizing the reality of these incredible skilled people.
It took some arguing even to get it onto KZhead without age restrictions!
@@NomadArchitecture I can imagine. Kudos and thank you.
@@NomadArchitecture very educational I love to see videos like this help people understand how humans through history may have lived
Existence is violence! Everyone should recognize this. I appreciate this sort of documentary work. For all of the conveniences of our industrialized landscape, there are many obvious downsides too. One of those is that we rarely appreciate the ritual (and animal-dependent!) aspects surrounding food and clothing. Out of sight, out of mind.
Age restriction? Meanwhile, their young children live a lifestyle that 150 years ago would have been commonplace anywhere on the planet. Haha! We've come so far that we can't stomach looking at our recent ancestors.

Those dogs are eating way better than first world dogs
When our ancestors reached the edge, when they found themselves at some beach staring at some great sea, when they found themselves at the foot of some intimidating mountain, at some desolate desert, at some impenetrable jungle or at some bitter winterland -- it makes me proud that they always took another step. Even at the edge of our limits, we humans always took another step. We took the potential within and became the heroes our universal myths told us we were always meant to be.
Hey, that is the Neanderthal story
The next impossible step is space, the final frontier.

Since watching documentaries from a young age, I thought humans are omnivores like foxes & bear, you can’t thrive without meat. I saw different people from different backgrounds & those without meat looked frail & tired. Like an African thrive said, “ We are happy as long we have meat & honey”.

I wish we could eat and experience the same. Great respect for these people and for the animal too. Nothing wasted.
We can. First thing to do is stop voting for central governments and start demanding our freedom. Then we can roam freely the planet the same way all other beings do.
Go hunting
@@rebeccaduncan6 For now the most I hunted have been snails! I have 2 chickens and when they are old I intend to eat them. But I don't know how I will deal with the act of killing them, for now I eat meat from the supermarket.

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity and educational experiences that you are truly inviting us to see a magnificent and incredible journey that these extraordinary skillful Nomadic people spend their time to survive day to day. An extreme wonderment how every single person in tribe works and has a role to play from the time they are born until their death. Teamwork is paramount and there is never room for jealousy or their survival would have never succeeded.
Blessed are the native people of this planet, all around the world.
@Slow and Natural life They are Mongol invaders of white russia, not natives. They belong to Mongolia, not Russia. The Mongolian mixed Ashkenzi Jew, Vladimir Lenin(disciple of the jew, karl marx), deemed these Nenets as indigenous, when there ancestry is from Mongolia(descendant from Genghis Khan).
@Taranis True. His mother is a Pollock(Pole with a Lock(Polish J-w)) name Miriam Shelomavich. Putin isn't the phenotypical russian. He is j-vvish as Zelensky.
@@ShiningGalaxy01 Nenets are Uralic, you absolute idiot. We Finno-Ugric/Uralic people have been in Russia thousands of years before the slav colonizers.
So many things to say but i'm just speechless. There's first time for everything and today's the first time i saw this. Thank you for sharing!
The other reason they do that, is that is the only way to get vitamins. Otherwise they will loose their teeth and etc. There is no tesco where they can get garlic.
The whole animal is the most nutritious food you can get in this planet. Compare beef liver to any plant, the plants become laughable nutrionally
Speaking of teeth, they won't need braces and stuff. Learn more about how they do this by checking the works of John Mew here on YT.

Wow! You are sure going to get the 👎🏻 comments! 😉 These people are herders, NOT FARMERS, their lives depend on their animals. Their life cycles are intertwined. Looks like it might be a little difficult to grow a garden!

Love this , watching them feast on warm raw meat made my mouth water as I have done this with deer myself so can totally relate to. And yes I didn’t waste anything either.
No one should get offended because its the nomads way of life, has been for generations.
No need to apologize man, this is very educational video
I think somewhere below I have already apologised for apologising.
Wauw, powerful video! Very interesting! Thanks sooo much for this.
Reindeer sasimi! An amazing documentary presenting an amazing way of living!

@@pkskyw I tried it and it was delicious I started with steak tartare
Cold pot, you mean
@@farizkeren5730 It's a fresh kill the blood is still warm you can see the heat emanating in the form of steam. I think hot pot is an apt term.
i don't think it is a special ritual. eating raw meat is natural and tribes have been doing this everywhere on earth, since that is what they eat.
Amazing! Nothing goes to waste and they are thriving!
Excellent work in documenting this real life.

Where can i buy your book?
While people in more civilized places bitch and moan about the "oppression" they are feeling or someone is but hurt that someone offended someone else. These people are living day by day. Relying on each other to get by. There only worries are warmth, food, and sustainability that the land provides. How awesome are there people.
😁 ... ur a simp---
I see a lot of videos of people talking with indigenous people. Most of them want something better for their children. Or at least an opportunity to decide if they want to live like the parents do or enter the modern world with all it convenient tool for living. I watch one Kate Humble show where she found out they wanted more money for the furs they traded so their children would not have such a hand to mouth existence. It is one thing to have to live that way but to know there is an easier way to live and you can’t give it to your children is hard on parents.
@@m005kennedy 🍆 ☝️simp
@@rayray-kx1yv maybe you could post back when you learn the English?
@@m005kennedy you’re 100% correct. These are old ways that are no longer sustainable. It looks glamorous to some, but even looking at their clothes and tools, it’s clear the modern world has sunk in and can no longer be avoided. I’m certain if given the opportunity, many if not all people in this video would abandon this lifestyle for a more modern one. This comment section is just a bunch of conservatives projecting their own love for the “good ol days”. Where nothing changes and men do “men things” and women do “women things”.
It will never stop amazing me how other cultures live. I find it fascinating that even in 2022 or 2021 when this was made that people still carry forward all these traditions.
Facinating, I never tought that steam arise from the raindeer body
Their skin looks flawless (this diet seems to be what we do the opposite of) cooking protein denatures it... cooking vegetables breaks the cellulose bonds, that our bodies otherwise would not be able to do. Releasing sugar or carbs in the form of fructose and glucose. Insulin then is released from our pancreases... a necessary evil. Sugar is the number one cause of inflammation and ageing. I eat a similar diet to these people... but the problem is most items in the modern day supermarket has been tampered with / processed. Eskimos are healthier than us western folk... no processing, no wifi radiation - no toxic additives, preservatives (Aside from what looks like table salt which is sodium chloride). I digress... good video and well done to the eskimos.
Idk why people are disgusted by eating raw meat. This is how our ancestors ate before discovering fire
Absolutely amazing video!! Donation sent!!
Thank you!
2:08 that's the first time i've seen a body being used as a bowl. very creative
Ok the little kids in their parkas are adorable. They must be at least a few years more mature than western kids at their age with everything they go thru daily. Amazing people
This is amazing! I can’t even get my toddler to eat chicken nuggets lol
Thats because of how modern parents approach food. The tribes tell children stories to train their kids and put food in front of them and they eat because they will have no other choice and eating is as a family. Kids today are coddled and soft. My kids eat what I put in front of them and I have them try new foods from 6 months on. They see me and model my behavior.
@@ah5721 that’s great! And I’ve offered my 15 month old son whatever we’re eating as well - he likes somethings and others he doesn’t.

No apology, they're gifts from mother nature.
I wish I had been born into a group or culture like this rather than a boring generic modern american household, I am privileged by modern standards yes but it is not a fulfilling or worthy life. What these people do, and what many indigenous and nomadic people across the world do, is something I highly respect and I hope their cultures, way of life, and more continue to survive for thousands of more years and is not taken down with the sinking ship that is "modernity".
for your wish, go out dude, get stories form strangler i often camping even alone but i enjoy it very much because we can share experience or story or making friend along the journey doesn't need to "indigenous or nomadic", even just farmer outside your city will give you so much and exciting story you will glad to hear, like what they do, what they like, hate or their struggler you will see how fulfilling or worthy your life is i hope that will help you
Be happy with what you have, it’s much easier. If you do wanna live this lifestyle so bad then just learn how to hunt in your free time instead of feeling sorry for yourself
This is extremely graph, but totally necessary and I understand it , if anyone is offended just remember these people can’t just walk to the nearest grocery store or walk across the street to a 7-Eleven and not only that but they utilize every part of the animal there’s nothing wrong with that. You see even the dogs are being able to eat whatever’s left, that’s amazing. People are truly the definition of wild and civilized
Magnífico, esplêndido, sublime!
Wow this is interesting
Oh man, seeing them all join in on the reindeer like that made me hungry, I never had it raw. There's just something so special about eating together... Oh well, I might be alone but I do have canned cod liver swimming in it own oil, that will do for now;)

I guess I was stupid to think they'd go about that in any other way. A hot tasty meal right there. One of the most interesting and informative things I have seen in some time.
If these people don't eat meat, what other choice do they have. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables? Where would they get something like that in the middle of freezing sub 40 degrees.
