Tursuvaid

Tursuvaid, also known as turshuvid or turshuvai, are a traditional nomadic people of the Mongolian Plateau, primarily inhabiting the Gobi Desert and the surrounding areas. They are part of the Mongolian ethnic group and are known for their nomadic lifestyle, which involves herding livestock such as sheep, goats, and camels. Tursuvaid are skilled in various traditional crafts, including leatherworking, felt-making, and woodcarving, which are essential for their survival and cultural identity.

The tursuvaid culture is deeply rooted in their nomadic traditions, which include the practice of transhumance, where they move their herds between different pastures according to the seasons. This lifestyle allows them to take advantage of the abundant grazing lands available in the region. Their traditional dwellings are yurts, which are portable and can be easily moved with the herds.

The tursuvaid people have a rich oral tradition, with many stories and legends passed down through generations. These stories often reflect their connection to the natural world and their nomadic way of life. They also have a strong sense of community, with extended family groups living together and sharing resources.

Despite the challenges posed by climate change and other modern issues, the tursuvaid continue to preserve their cultural heritage. Efforts are being made to document their traditions and support their livelihoods, ensuring that their way of life can be passed on to future generations.
