Abstract
This article is a condensed general ethnographic description of the Nganasans culture prior to the Bolshevik revolution, with a brief section on changes brought about by the Soviet takeover. The Nganasans form the most northerly group among the Samoyedic-speaking peoples of Siberia. The summary focuses primarily on the groups annual economic cycle of hunting, fishing, and reindeer breeding, clothing, food, dwellings, clan organization and marriage regulation, religious beliefs, and shamanism. It ends by listing major changes in diet, territorial organization, methods of hunting and other aspects of the culture as a result of settling the Nganasans into collective farms.
