So, I just created this blog, and I decided it would be necessary to introduce myself and my blog. This blog is mainly about the Chukchi people of northern Russia/Siberia. I wanted to make this blog because I have Chukchi heritage, and I find it important to connect with my kinpeople.
My name is Kemgekem, and I like to make Chukchi crafts, sing songs, throat sing and I enjoy dancing Chukchi dances. I also love Koryak and Itelmen songs and dances, because they are so energetic. I have a chum, which is a cone shaped tipi-like structure usually covered in skins, but I covered it in a tarp because I don't have enough animalskins. I want to make a yaranga this summer and I hope I will be able to. Koryak people lived in chums, but also did Dolgans, Selkup, Nenet, Khanty, Komy, and others, etc. just to name a few. I hope you wull like this, and keep checking back to see what I have for you!
Vellinqaqun for visiting my blog!
(PS: Vellinqaqun means Thank you :) )
