Eníci

Eníci, also known as the Enets people, are an indigenous group of Siberia, primarily inhabiting the Yamal Peninsula and the Taymyr Peninsula in Russia. They are one of the smallest ethnic groups in the world, with a population estimated to be around 400 individuals. The Enets are known for their nomadic lifestyle, traditionally living in reindeer herding tents called "chum" during the summer and moving to winter camps during the colder months. Their culture is deeply connected to the natural environment, with reindeer being a central part of their livelihood and diet. The Enets have a rich oral tradition, with stories and songs passed down through generations. They speak the Enets language, which belongs to the Uralic language family. The Enets have faced significant challenges due to modernization and the impact of climate change, which has affected their traditional way of life. Efforts are being made to preserve their language and culture, and the Enets are recognized as an indigenous people by the Russian government.
