Research Abstract |
Our project(Ethno-historical study on Pastoral Nomadism in Altai-Tenshan Area) has focused on the ethnological perspective and historical change of pastoral Nomadism in North Asia. We planned a three-year research from 1991. From June to September 1993, we carried out our field work especially in Sinkian and Mongolia. Members of our project team were M.Matsubara, M.Hamada, S.Hori, T.Hayashi, Y.Konagaya, H. Yang, H.Shoji. In Sinkian, we engaged in our research on Kazak, Tuva, and Torgut-Mongol of Altai Mountains. In Mongolia, we concentrated our research on Hoton of Western Mongolia, All of these areas which we carried out our field work were highly restricted for foreign researchers till quite recently. So, on our research, we could get so many fruitful results, including newly found sites and materials. Especially we have got a lot of useful academic information of pastoral nomadism which changed by socialism and rearranged in recent date. Also we got the materials which contributed to rethinking ethno-genesis theory through the research of Tuva and Hoton etc. Tuva in Altai(about 2000 in population) and Hoton in western Mongolia(about 5000 in population) were highly influenced by Mongolian culture. At the present time, all of them speak Mongolian language(Tuva peoples keep their own Turkey language, but Hoton lost their own Turkish language). While Tuva became Buddhist as like as Mongolian, Hoton kept Islamic faith which changed in many phases(for example they didn't conduct a fast, five times pray in a day, and gratefully they had an image of God). All of these results will contribute to fill a blank of knowledge concerning pastoral nomadism in North Asia.
