EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the weathered face of Selkup Tamelkin, an Old Selkup fisherman, gazes intently into the distance from his secluded spot along the banks of the Hudosey River in the North Tumen region of Siberia. Belonging to the indigenous peoples of northern Russia, the Selkup people have a rich history rooted in the harsh yet beautiful Arctic landscape. The Old Selkups, also known as the Selkup-Ostyaks, are a northern minority group who have traditionally relied on fishing, hunting, and reindeer herding for their livelihood. This image captures the deep connection between Selkup Tamelkin and the natural world, as he waits patiently for a catch amidst the autumnal colors of the riverbanks. The man's weathered features tell a story of a life spent in the elements, with a thick beard protecting his face from the cold winds and a fur hat shielding his head from the sun or rain. His intense focus and the simple tools at his side underscore the resilience and resourcefulness of the Old Selkup people, who have adapted to the challenging conditions of their environment for generations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and culture of the Old Selkup people, a northern minority group whose way of life has been shaped by the unique geography and climate of Siberia. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the traditions and stories of indigenous communities, and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the world and its diverse peoples.
