	Dolgans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dolgans (Долганы in Russian; self-designation: долган, тыа-кихи, саха) are a Turkic -Mongoloid people, who inhabit the Taymyria region in the Krasnoyarsk Krai in Russia.
		Dolgan identity emerged in the 19th – early 20th century, when some of the Evenks, Yakuts, Enets and the so-called Tundra peasants migrated to this region away from the Lena River and Olenyok River.
		Originally, the Dolgans were nomadic reindeer breeders and hunters.

	The Red Book of the Peoples of the Russian Empire
		The Dolgans inhabit an area in the southern part of the Taimyr (Dolgan-Nenets) National Territory, in the Khatanga and Pyassina river basins, and to a lesser extent on the Yenisey (the Dudinka district).
		Etnologically the Dolgan society is formed of the Yakut and Tungus clans Dolgan, Dongot, Edjan or Edzhen, and Karanto or Karóntuo.
		The tribes forming the nucleus of the Dolgans migrated from the banks of the River Lena at the end of the 17th century.

	THE DOLGANS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Dolgans themselves do not identify with the Yakuts, and they actually differ considerably from the Yak their language and their ethnic culture.
		Dolgan intellectuals came to prefer to speak Russian, and it was accepted that if a person wished to advance their career then they had to speak fluent Russian.
		The first data on the Dolgans was in a book by M. Castrén "Reiseberichte und Briefe aus den Jahren 1845--1849", published in St. Petersburg in 1856.

	East Asian Studies 210 Notes: The Yakut/Dolgan
		The present language of the Dolgan is closely related to Yakut, and yet, because of significant structural changes induced by the switchover from Ewenki, Dolgan is usually considered a separate language (though some scholars claim it is a dialect of Yakut).
		The Dolgan generally nomadized in the forest tundra belt in winter, venturing out into the open tundra during the summer (not unlike their Nganasan neighbors).
		Dolgans continued to use a type of throwing arrow as well as a feather arrow for hunting.

		The Dolgan has left his society in search of jobs near the Wheatlands, etc. Could possibly mean he has been an outcast of his village, or had to leave for certain reasons.
		Many Dolgans are "cross trained." Exit careers for any Warrior are any of the careers listed as exits under the career itself (which the GM approves of), any careers on the Dolgan warrior table, and Dolgan Lancer.
		Dolgan Smuggler Often merchants don't feel that they should have to share some of their profits with the local authorities and often employ locals to help in the circumventing of exciseman.

		The Dolgans are a people of Tungusic origins, who were partly assimilated by the Yakuts, and as a result speak a dialect of the Turkic Yakut language.
		With collectivization in the 1930s, gradually more an more of the Dolgans had to accept settled life in state villages, although some managed to keep their traditional ways until the 1950s.
		Dolgans have joined the Association of Small Peoples of the Far North, which was established in 1990.

	Ventsel, Aimar - Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology
		Dolgans are a Sakha speaking ethnic group and belong to the so called Numerically Small People.
		Urung Khaia is the only Dolgan village in the territory of the Republic of Sakha (most Dolgans live in the northern part of Krasnoiarski Krai).
		After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the planned economy, the state subsidies decreased dramatically and the whole northern "agriculture" had to be restructured and oriented towards a market economy.

	Bringing The Mammoth Back To Life
		The Dolgans are descended from ethnic cousins of the Inuits who believed mammoth bones belonged to subterranean monsters that rise to the surface of the earth when dead.
		Simion Jarkov, a young Dolgan living in Khatanga, was on a visit to his family in the village of Novorybnoye, 150 miles to the north.
		But he seems to be a genuine enthusiast, routinely braving conditions that confine even Dolgan herdsmen to the warmth of their winter "balloks" (huts on runners, pulled by reindeer) in his quest to resurrect the mammoth or at least establish what killed if off.

		The speakers of the Vadeyev Dialect live in the tundra and in the eastern parts of Taymyr, in the Khatanga District by the river Heta, Lake Taymyr and Khatanga Bay.
		A separate group, the Oko tribe, exists, formed of the Nganasans of Dolgan origin, assimilated in the 19th century.
		In the past it was common that a Nganasan would be familiar with the language of the Dolgans, the Evenks or the Nenets (and vice versa) but since the 1950s Russian has developed as the lingua franca.

	Dolgany in the Adarian Campaign
		This was before the rise of the Hobgoblin Hegemony, but the results of the civil war weakened the Dolgan nation and indirectly influenced the rise of the Hegemony.
		By this time, the Dolgans were much poorer than they had been when they set out; several Dwarven clans had charged huge tolls to let the Dolgans through their well-guarded passes, and defeat had also taken a dreadful toll.
		The survivors of the Dolgans were tough, wary, and honed to a murderously fine edge.

		Even the Dolgans' houses are made of reindeer hides, stretched on wooden frameworks and mounted on sled runners—so that they can be pulled across the tundra, by reindeer.
		Already, the Dolgans are used to the paleontologist- and cameraman-bearing helicopters that occasionally drop from the sky.
		As for the Dolgans, whose world contains no living creature remotely resembling a mammoth, their traditional belief is that the bones belong to a species of giant burrowing mole that dies instantly on contact with the air or sunlight.

	Polar Trek Middle School Lessons - People and Culture
		The word Dolgan (which means 'people living on the middle reaches of the river') is used to describe a group that mostly inhabits an area in the southern part of the Taymry Peninsula in Central Siberia.
		The Dolgans live in a relatively flat area consisting of forest and tundra over miles of flat plains.
		To survive in this harsh environment, besides hunting wild reindeer and rearing domestic reindeer, the Dolgans sold the furs of polar foxes.

	Soyuz: The Research Network for Postsocialist Studies
		Ust-Avam, populated mainly by Dolgans, Nganasans and Russians, has watched its connections to the ‘outside’ atrophy, as the state has withdrawn transportation subsidies, and as the hunting enterprise which organized economic activities during the Soviet period has languished.
		This is the core theme of his book; however his broader intent is to introduce the Dolgans and Nganasans, peoples poorly documented in the English language.
		His discussion of mortality exposes differences along axes of gender and ethnicity: especially interesting is the comparison of Dolgan and Nganasan mortality.

	Hunters: Domestic life
		The main dwelling of groups in Western Siberia (i.e., the Nenets, Khants, Mansis, Dolgans, Nganasans, and Sel'kups) and in Eastern Siberia (i.e., the Evenks, Evens, Kets, and northern Yakuts) was a chum of conical shape.
		The Dolgans, however, lead a nomadic life and transported loads only during the summer.
		Human populations of the tundra and forest-tundra zone moved and transported loads on reindeer harnessed to sleds.

	Ethnic groups
		Nganasan and Dolgan populations overlap in the Kheta River valley.
		Although their ethnogenesis was not completed prior to the beginning of the century, the Dolgans are a culturally distinct group with a comparatively large intelligentsia, and a high migration to sociologically important occupations like medical doctors and teachers.
		In central and eastern Taymyr, most Dolgan state farms have lost their domestic reindeer due to the recent increase of the wild reindeer population.

		As the reindeer are moved from spot to spot in search of grazing land (did you know that reindeer love mushrooms?), the herders bring their homes with them.
		The balocks were usually left at storage sites while people moved farther north with their tents and herds to summer pasture and hunting and fishing grounds.
		But it's such strenuous work to pull them, and the weather is often so extreme, that after a reindeer team has pulled a balock 10 kilometers (6 miles), the animals have to rest up for a full week.

	[No title]
		The Dolgans use their inherent enterprising abilities to adapt themselves to a new market economy, while it is the Nganasans who still stay at remote hunting sites in the hope that “tundra would sustain them anyway.” The majority of indigenous people consider the life in the settlements to have no prospects.
		In two easternmost rural areas of Khatangsky district (namely Syndasskovskaya and Popigayskaya rural areas), the Dolgans are in close relations (economic, cultural, marital) with the population of Anabarsky ulus of Sakha-republic.
		To-date the region is free from anthropogenic loads with the scarce population concentrated in the settlement, and in summer — along migratory routes.

	American Ethnologist - Online Book Reviews
		Originally inspired by his experience in the Canadian Arctic, Anderson considers the ways in which his Evenki and Dolgan interlocutors negotiated their sense of place as herders within the Soviet and newly post-Soviet nation-state in the 1990s.
		Anderson shows how Dolgans and Evenkis have come to forget about the many bonds, such as kinship and common herding groups and territories, that have historically crosscut ethnic boundaries and how this shrinking sense of connection has increasingly led to violent confrontations.
		Anderson almost exclusively based his research on consultations with the men who made up the Number One Reindeer Herding Brigade; in only a few passages the reader is able to infer that women may have perspectives that differ from men’s.

	The Duel Monarchy of WALDAVIA-MOLLACHIA in the Adarian Campaign
		The society is strongly feudal, with a nobility holding all the land.
		At one point, much of what is now the Dual Principality was under Dolgan rule, and the Dolgans are remembered as harsh masters.
		The Dolgans are mostly concentrated in the disputed area of Transmontania, in an enclave surrounded almost entirely by Tilremian speakers.

	Healing Rituals
		An important part of shamanic ritual was the preparation of the sacred place, drum, shaman's costume, special curative clothes, and ritual objects.
		Wooden images that symbolized incarnations of disease spirits were used in curative practices by the Sel'kups, Evenks, and the Dolgans.
		The spirits were called upon for mercy by making sacrifices through helper spirits, which could include tribal spirits, spirits of home and hearth, spirits of locality, mountain, earth, water, image of the first shaman, sacred bird (duck or eagle), reindeer or moose, mammoth, or bear.
