EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Selkup father Eugenii Irikov and his young son proudly navigate their traditional hand-made wooden boat, or "vetka," along the Taz River in the North Tumen region of Russia. The Selkups are an indigenous people of Siberia, traditionally reliant on the river for their livelihoods and way of life. The vetka, crafted from a single tree trunk, is a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the Selkup people. It is first used in early spring when the ice and debris begin to melt, allowing the river to flow freely once again. The father and son team expertly maneuver the boat through the pristine Arctic waters, their faces etched with determination and a sense of connection to their ancestral heritage. The Taz River, a major tributary that flows into the Arctic Ocean, has played a vital role in the history and culture of the Selkup people for generations. Their boats, such as the one depicted in this image, have been used for hunting, fishing, and transportation, allowing them to thrive in the harsh Arctic environment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Selkup people, a Northern minority group whose way of life is deeply intertwined with the natural world. The father and son's bond, strengthened by their shared experience on the river, is a poignant reminder of the enduring connection between people and their land. The Selkup people and their traditions continue to face challenges in the modern world, as their traditional ways of life are increasingly threatened by industrialization and climate change. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique cultures and histories of indigenous communities around the world.
