The present-day territory of residence of Khanty
lies to the east of the Ural Range along the Ob'
and its tributaries. This territory is mainly
covered by vast swamps, numerous rivers and lakes,
richly forested.
During the Bronze and Early Iron Ages,
forest-steppes of Western Siberia were inhabited
by nomadic groups, horse-breeders. These nomads
are considered the early Ugrian tribes. The
horse-breeders and hunter-fishermen from the North
contacted closely. From these wooded steppes the
Magyars left in the ninth century AD to Central
Europe and founded the Hungarian nation. Other
Ugric ethnoses moving north changed the culture
and lifestyles into hunting, fishing and rain-deer
breeding.
First in the XV century - the Great Novgorod
republic and later in the XVI century the
Moscovite state had already encroached upon
Finno-Ugrian peoples of the west of Ural, founded
outlying trade towns and established nominal
suzerainty over Khanty and Samoyed inhabitants of
the region around the mouth of the Ob.
Khanty, who may have numbered, together with
Mansi, about 16,000 at a time when the population
of Moscovite Russia was perhaps about 10 million,
were not nations with a single ruler or a sense of
common identity, but belonged to many separate
clans, each with its own hereditary chieftains.
The territory occupied by the Khanty extended from
the mouth of the Ob and the northern Urals for 400
miles up the Ob to the confluence of the Irtysh,
and from there a further 400 miles eastward into
the heart of Siberia.
The tribal priests - shamans presided over
religious rites in these sacred places,
sacrificing horses, reindeer or other animals
under a tree and smearing the mouths of spirit
effigies with blood to "feed" them. In early times
human beings were sacrificed in this and other
ways.
Despite all the anti-religious measures employed
by the Communist Party, shamans and shamanism
continued in Siberia till nowadays.
Finding themselves at best disregarded, but
frequently exploited and abused by the invaders of
their territory, the native Siberians living to
the north seeking escape from the destruction. At
the beginning of the twentieth century the peoples
of the North, pushed back from the intensively
colonized zone of the railway, lived as separately
from the 'white men' as did the Indians of North
America.
Siberian Tribe Struggle for Land Rights
by Kathryn McCann
In the 1930s the Khanty people of Siberia were
persecuted by the Soviet regime. They were taken
from their ancestral lands, the adults put to work
in state farms and the children sent to boarding
schools. The shamans were killed in an attempt to
crush the people's spirituality and break their
roots to their past.
By the 1960s many of the tribe had managed to move
back to the Siberian Taiga and re-establish their
traditional semi-nomadic way of life, herding
reindeer, hunting, fishing and gathering berries.
But then came a new threat.
Oil, gas and mining companies, seeking to exploit
the hidden riches of the land, have wreaked havoc
in the delicate arctic environment, polluting
water sources, degrading forests and killing or
scaring away the animals. In places the land is so
damaged that it would take a century to recover
enough to support the Khanty's precious reindeer.
The prospectors trick families into surrendering
their land - moving in without their knowledge,
promising compensation that never comes or making
them believe they have no right to refuse. As a
result the people are often driven from their land
into 'native villages', where they are forced to
depend on the state to survive. In desperation
many seek solace in the vodka brought in by the
oil men or even resort to suicide.
In fact until recently, according to Russian
federal law, the people had the right to live and
hunt in their traditional lands, the Khanty-Mansi
Autonomous Okrug. And in 1994 those who were still
living in the traditional way received official
land documents from the local administration,
giving them the right to deny entry to
prospectors. Now, however, a new Land Code has
come into force that invalidates the previous
laws, leaving the Khanty with no protection from
those who want to exploit their land.
