Multispecies Households in the Saian Mountains brings together new
ethnographic insights from the mountains of Southern Siberia and
Mongolia. It examines Indigenous ideas of what it means to make a
home alongside animals and spirits in changing alpine and subalpine
environments. Set in the Eastern Saian Mountain Region of South
Central Siberia and northern Mongolia, the book covers an area
famous for its claim as the birthplace of Eurasian reindeer
domestication. Going beyond reindeer, the authors explore the less
known role of yak, horses, wolves, spirits, fish, and many other
sentient beings, all of which co-constitute local notions of 'home
places.' In their contributions, the authors reach beyond
conventional categories of wild and tame in a region that is
increasingly hostile toward its own inhabitants as the result of
global efforts to create protected nature reserves. Through its
ethnographic nuance, the reader comes to appreciate many
connections existing between human and other households - networks
of relationships that transcends idioms of dominance or mutualism.
