A Relative in Bearskin
В статье рассматривается онтологический аспект культа медведя у народов Нижнего Приамурья. На примере мифоритуальных комплексов нивхов, ульчей, нанайцев воссоздана модель взаимосвязи человеческого и животного сообществ в контексте миропонимания рыбаков и охотников долины Амура. Теоретической основой работы послужили концепции персонификации и реляционной идентичности, дающие возможность подойти к изучению образа зверя в мировоззренческих системах…
Island Camps of the Indigenous Fishing Population of the Lower Amur Region (19th – Early 21st Centuries)
This study analyzes island settlements of indigenous fishermen living in the Lower Amur region in ecosystemic and ethnocultural framework, using hydrological and ichthyological data, literature, and author’s field research in 1995, 2008, and 2011. In the middle and lower reaches of the Amur River islands are formed by floods eroding the banks and making new channels which in turn affect the spawning routes of Pacific salmon. River sections around…
A Relative in Bearskin
The study examines certain aspects of the bear cult practiced by the Lower Amur peoples. Using myths and rituals of Nivkhs, Ulchi, and Nanai people, a human-animal interface is reconstructed in the context of the Amur hunter-gatherer worldview. Reference is made to the concept of personification and situational identity, offering an approach to the beast image in ritual from the standpoint of perceiving it as a human capable of shapeshifting. Wit…

The Tiger-Dog and its Semantics in the Nanai Shamanic Sculpture
Статья посвящена феномену нанайского шаманского комплекта, совмещающего два образа — собаки и тигра. Шаманская скульптура нанайцев рассматривается как явление, в котором получила отражение субъективная и объективная реальность, сконструированная носителями традиционной культуры. Для выявления значимости одомашненного животного и хищника в жизни нижнеамурского сообщества проведены культурные параллели с народами Сибири и тихоокеанского побережья. …
The Tiger-Dog and its Semantics in the Nanai Shamanic Sculpture
This article describes the Nanai shamanic set, combining two images—a dog and a tiger. The Nanai shamanic sculpture is viewed as a phenomenon reflecting both the subjective and the objective reality constructed by traditional cultural practices. Parallels with Siberian and Pacific cultures reveal the significance of the domestic animal and the wild predator for the people of the Lower Amur. Using folkloric and lexical data, findings of field stud…
Taiga” and “River” Components in the Nanai Socio-Tribal Organization at Lake Bolon, the Lower Amur
This study explores the socio-tribal organization of the Nanai living near Lake Bolon, with reference to environment and migration, using published and unpublished sources, S.K. Patkanov’s statistical materials, and our field data. We employ D.N. Anuchin’s spatial distribution and variation method for reconstructing the settlement pattern and assessing the socio-tribal structure with regard to the contacts between sedentary and nomadic population…
The Nanai Clan Samar
Members of the Nanai clan Samar reside in the Gorin area of the Khabarovsk Territory. Their gene pool was studied using the SNP markers of the Y-chromosome. The major haplogroup, occurring in more than 83% of clansmen, is the northern Eurasian haplogroup N1c1-M178. Four other haplogroups are С*-М130, I*-M170, J2a1а-M47, and O2-P31. The most frequent haplogroup, N1c1-М178, indicates mostly Tungus origin of the Samar clan; other haplogroups detecte…
Elements of the Inau Cult in Ethnic and Cultural Contacts of the southern Far East1
The article describes the wood shaving stick cult (inau), practiced by the peoples of the continental and insular parts of the southern Far East. This cult is syncretic and variable, resulting from ethnic and cultural contacts between ethnic groups of the Pacific area. The study of inau, both archaeological and ethnographic, is relevant to an understanding of ethnic interaction in the region
Ethnic and Cultural Aspects of Nanai Healing Ritual Sculptures
The present study discusses the ethnic and cultural aspects of ritual healing sculptures – sevhens, used by the Nanai people. The tradition of producing and using healing sculptures was common in shamanism. The practice encompasses certain archaic beliefs held by the Amur peoples which also resonate with various ecological, historical, and cultural themes. An analysis of the form and function of the sevhens points to their dual role as embodiers …
Impact of Salmon Fishing on Livelihood and Social Relations Among the Ulchi and the Amur Nanai (Second Half of the 19th – Early 20th Century)
Drawing on an analysis of literary sources, 1897 Census data, and the author's field materials, the study examines the impact of salmon fishing on the economic and social structures of the Tungus-Manchu ethnic groups – the Ulchi and Nanai people. Specific features of the spawning migration of various species of Pacific salmon formed the regional basis of livelihoods in the Lower Amur region. These same features determined the economic character a…
