While visiting such a unique place one cannot help but meet its natives, the most amiable people possible, the Koryaks, Itelmens, Evens, Chukchis and Aleuts.
For these ancient tribal nations, reindeer breading was the main occupation for centuries deer provided them with everything necessary: meat, skin for clothes (reindeer skin for coveralls, footwear) and for building portable dwellings (yarangas).
The reindeers bones were used for making tools and household articles and the animal's fat was used like oil for lightening. Highly developed handicrafts such as wood and bone carving, metal works, native clothing and carpets, embroidered
with beads and braiding are displayed at the Museum of Local Lore.
It is amazing to see the way these Northern tribes now live, preserving the skills as they were used to dwell, hundreds of years ago. The way they hunted, ate and slept.
Kamchatka is still a mysterious and yet mostly undiscovered vast area.
Its virgin lands and wonderments of treasured beauty are waiting to be explored and enjoyed by those willing to seek adventure.
