EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, we witness a Selkup family in their traditional homeland in the North Tumen region of Siberia, Russia. The family stands proudly in front of their log-hut, which is built on a traditional sledge, surrounded by the lush greenery of the spring forest. The Selkups are an indigenous people of the Siberian Arctic, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into their way of life. The Selkup family consists of several generations, with adults and children gathered together. The mother and father, both dressed in traditional Selkup clothing, stand in the center, their faces expressing a sense of warmth and pride. Their children, both girls and boys, playfully interact with each other, their laughter echoing through the forest. The log-hut, built from the abundant natural resources of the region, is a testament to the Selkups' resilience and adaptability. The use of a traditional sledge as a foundation is a practical solution to the challenging terrain and climate of the region. The family's possession of this house on sledge shows their deep connection to their land and their rich cultural heritage. This photograph captures a moment in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of a minority people of the Siberian North. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving the histories and traditions of indigenous communities, and the role that photography can play in documenting and sharing these stories with the world. The Selkup family, with their warm smiles and strong bond, invite us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of human experiences.
