Paper long abstract:
This paper, based on fieldwork in Northwestern Siberia, documents the autonomous livliehood of a community of Forest Nenetses in the taigas north of Khanimei. The paper focusses on the adaptation of transport technology from reindeer to vehicles, and the way in which the landscape is micro-zoned into preserves of fish and forage. Somewhat counter-intuitively this community has worked out a balanced livelihood of substainable consumotion in the shadow of some the largest and oldest gas installations in the North. The ethnography will be framed within a dialogue on food sovereignty, or the way that autochnonous production can great a realm of fredom.
