Video Description:
Beauty of the Tuvan culture and people.
Branch of the Altaic family:
Turkic
Tuvans or Tuvinians are a group of Turkic people who make up about two thirds of the population of Tuva, Russia. They are historically known as Uriankhai, from the Mongolian designation.
Tuvans have historically been cattle-breeding nomads, tending to their herds of goats, sheep, camels, reindeer, cattle and yaks for the past thousands of years. They have traditionally lived in yurts covered by felt or chums covered with birch bark or hide that they relocate seasonally as the move to newer pastures.A noticeable proportion of Tuvans lives in Mongolia. The Dukha live in Khövsgöl Aimag. The largest population of Tuvans in Mongolia are the Tsengel Tuvans. Around 1,500 live in Tsengel Sum of Bayan-Ölgii Aimag. Other Tuvans live in Khovd Aimag and in Ubsunur Hollow. Tuvans in China, who live mostly in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, are included under the Mongol nationality.A unique form of music exists in Tuva commonly known as throat singing. A throat-singer produces multiple tones (a base tone and its overtones).The traditional religion of Tuvans is shamanism, which is still widely practiced alongside Tibetan Buddhism and Orthodox Christianity.Khuresh, the Tuvan form of wrestling, is a
very popular sport.
