ロシアの極北、ツンドラの大地に生きるネネツの人々。
彼らはトナカイとともに季節を追い、群れにとって最もよい場所を求めながら、移動を繰り返して暮らしている。

厳しい寒さの中で、彼らの生活はトナカイと深く結びついている。
住まいを覆う皮、身体を守る衣服、食べもの、移動のためのそり。
トナカイは資源であり、労働力であり、家族のような存在でもある。
その関係は、単なる利用や所有という言葉では捉えきれない。

その関係は、単なる利用や所有という言葉では捉えきれない。
彼らと時間をともにして感じたのは、自然を自分たちに合わせて変えるのではなく、自らの身体と暮らしを、この大地と動物のリズムに寄せていく生き方だった。
そこには、過酷な環境に耐える強さだけでなく、土地とともに生きるしなやかさがあった。

現代の道具や街の品々を取り入れながらも、ネネツの人々はトナカイとともにツンドラに生きるという核を手放していない。
伝統は、過去のまま凍りついたものではなく、変化の中で守られ、日々の選択の中で生き続けている。

In the far north of Russia, the Nenets live across the vast tundra.
They move with their reindeer through the seasons, searching for the places best suited for the herd, and shaping their lives around this constant movement.
They move with their reindeer through the seasons, searching for the places best suited for the herd, and shaping their lives around this constant movement.
In the severe cold, their daily life is deeply bound to the reindeer.
The hides that cover their homes, the clothing that protects their bodies, the food they eat, and the sleds that carry them across the snow.
Reindeer are a resource, a means of movement, and, at the same time, something close to family.
Their relationship cannot be fully understood through words such as use or ownership.

Spending time with them, I felt a way of life that does not seek to reshape nature for human comfort.
Instead, their bodies and daily rhythms are adjusted to the land and to the animals that live upon it.
There is not only strength in enduring such an environment, but also a quiet flexibility in living with it.

There is not only strength in enduring such an environment, but also a quiet flexibility in living with it.
Even as modern tools and goods from the city enter their lives, the Nenets have not let go of the essential core of their existence: living with reindeer on the tundra.
Tradition is not something frozen in the past.
It is preserved through change, and kept alive through the choices of everyday life.

This series looks at the reality of a life deeply connected to nature and animals, and at the strength, resilience, and beauty of the people who continue to choose it.
