Knowing the IPs of the Tomsk

On 10 March, in the library ‘Eureka’ of Tomsk, Selkup elders meet with kindergarten children to teach them about the Indigenous peoples of the Tomsk region. Through games, riddles, and dances, the elders taught the children about the rituals, customs, traditions, and literary heritage of Indigenous peoples in the Siberia and their contribution to nature conservation and relationship with biodiversity. The peculiarities of the various ornaments and elements in Indigenous peoples’ attire present unique knowledge that are unknown to the children.
