Gods of the Nenets (Arctic Siberia)

The deities of the Nenets — the reindeer-herding Samoyedic people of the Arctic tundra of northern Russia, from the Yamal Peninsula to the frozen shores of the Kara Sea. In their shamanic religion of the endless tundra, the supreme sky-god rules the heavens above and the lord of death the cold world below. From Num, the high god of the sky, to Nga, the dread master of death and the underworld, this series chronicles the gods of one of the great surviving herding cultures of the polar north.
