Drakhad -Tsaatan people




The people living in Darkhad territory have traditionally engaged in fishing, gathering, and breeding of reindeer. The name Darkhad means blacksmith was given to the local population by the Bogd Gegeen, who became their overlord in the 17th century.
These people live in territory from Mount Khoridol(3,130m)to Mounts Ulaan Taiga (3,351m) Bayan Uul (3,093m), and Munkh Saridag (3,491 m).
Taiga forest has its own laws. People there speak rarely and in low voice. Though they do not welcome outsiders, they do not chase them away.
High ranges of Sayan Mountains covered by thick forests, river valleys of Shishged, Tengis, Bus, and Jams on northern border of Mongolia - these are places where the few remaining families of Tsaatan tribe, known from ancient times as Forest People, are living.
