Abstract
Provides an ethnographic record of the harsh life of the nomadic Nenetsi reindeer herdsmen of the Yamal Peninsula. Minimal narration allows stark images to speak for themselves. The harshness of the Nenetsi existence is reinforced as the camera follows the nomads on their spring journey to southern grazing lands. There, adults hunt, fish, or construct sleds and temporary huts, while children draw pictures that represent their lives.
