4.Ewenki reindeer persons: The experts for roam

There is a virgin forest at the north west foot of Da Xing An lin, right of Erguna river. A Minority clan lived there with little renown, they are Ewenki reindeer persons who live in "AO Lu garden".

Migrate near the grass is the major activity of Ewenki people. Always the food near the point can only supply for 10-15 days, which leads to the frequency migrates. Once I have attended the migrate in the end of summer. Before the migrate, they will prepare the reindeer put the items on. In it, the women will lead along the reindeer and organize to a long queue. Two strongest women is resposible for lead the way. The reindeer wich carry the yougers and elders are at the end of the queue, the others will follow. If any reindeer goes away from the team or goes slower than the others, there will be man for purchasing.

Ewenki people have founded a deep relationship with the reindeer, reindeers to them sometimes are like their own children. During the time of holiday, they will set their reindeer and give them a nice dressing. When there are weddings, reindeer will also be the betrothal gifts.
