The Even are a Manchu-Tungusian people, who once spread from the northern Amur region over large parts of northeastern Siberia from Yakutia and Chukotka to Kamchatka. As hunters, they first used reindeer as transport animals. The larger herds of reindeer that later developed from this serve as a livelihood for many today. Examples of Evens living in Yakutia and Central Kamchatka are shown here.
