Tsaatan, the last free men of Mongolia

They are nicknamed “the Reindeer People”. They are one of the most amazing tribes on the planet. There are only two hundred of them left and they live in the far north of Mongolia, in a deserted, inaccessible and frozen region. Always isolated from the world, the Tsaatans, these nomadic reindeer herders, have preserved their ancestral traditions and practice shamanism. They live in small family clans, inhabiting simple canvas tents in temperatures that drop to minus 40 degrees in winter. But they say they are happy to live like this, free, in the middle of sublime and preserved nature. And they never complain. Their happiness and their way of life, day by day, offer a striking contrast with our Western lives. But today, the modern world and technology are catching up with them. School, recently made compulsory for children, is at the center of all their questions. What to do? Protect children from progress they consider harmful or educate them and offer them the opportunity to integrate into civilization? These nomads know that they will have to choose between their traditions and contemporary life, between their freedom and comfort. Aware of being at a turning point in their history, will the Tsaatans manage to survive the encounter between their world and ours? This documentary offers us a spectacular journey into a timeless universe, miraculously preserved.
Director: Pierre DaSilva and Hervé Bouchaud

Look at how happy they are genuinely. No bullshit. No phones. No politics. Just enjoying life and appreciating whatever they have unlike majority of the world now who don't appreciate anything, complain about anything and everything and destroy other peoples happiness

[@villagelightsmith4375]

My clan is very old, and I am the last one left alive. There will be no more. The knowledge, skills, history, future, and Life of the clan, like all things, must one day pass away. And I am the one who will see the sunrise and sunset of that day. Now, I am an old man. I have lived a hard life, but a good one. And I am content.

Unfortunately, these reindeer herders will often have a house in the village that they pay a mortgage for. They also have bank accounts and use online banking. It’s 2024 there is no escape

[@ramonbril]

The way that tyrants recruit by offering gifts to lure these peoples out of their homes, the way that this monster teaches these people so efficiently that connecting with the 'outside' world is moral, as they took reindeer for their herd, the herd of humans takes them in. A trap so perfectly deviced, so elegant, that the victims approaching it ignore all the signs and intuitions, mental and physical, and are lured into dependency: true slavery.

[@godfreecharlie]

Moron is a unique woman. Bright, ambitious, she's going to make it at whatever she does. Saying her people are "ignorant" was somewhat erroneous. Her parents and all the Tsaatan are ignorant of modern cities, technology but they definitely are not ignorant! They've got a few things that they could show the world.

They won most of their battles , nobody invaded Mongolia , so yeah where did they go ? Unless most of them stayed in situ after battles and bred with the locals as you can see their influence in countries around them eg Siberia , Afghanistan , Nepal , Tibet etc.

Je continuerais de croire en la destinée des peuples nomades comme étant une culture à part entière qui se suffit et se suffisait d'elle seule et d'elle même vivre par sa force et son travail sans exploiter les autres que le monde est mal fait il devrait y avoir des écoles spéciale pour que la culture des peuples nomades puissent elles aussi survivre en préservant leurs racines et leurs coutumes allier modernité et nos anciennes cultures sera un des plus grand défi j'honore ces peuples je respecte aussi leurs croyances et coutumes je leur souhaite longue vie et de trouver des alliés qui seront être à vos côtés pour préserver votre liberté et votre avenir comme la préservation de vos terres longue vie à la Mongolie pour la liberté et lavenir de ces peuples vive la Mongolie libre ❤ vive les nomades aussi gloire à une humanite libre unie soudée pour la préservation de la paix et de la liberté dur cette terre ❤force à tous les peuples nomades ne cédez pas votre liberté pour autrui mais battez vous avec sagesse et courage pour défendre votre histoire et vos coutules comme croyances afin que le monde dit moderne ou civilises puisse un jour croire en vous et voyent en vous la solution et la réalité de ces peuples qui n'ont cesser de se battre pour leurs survie même seuls contre tous vous êtes une chance pour une humanite libre !! J'espère que le monde moderne ne plongera pas un peuple de plus dans la misère et l'exploitation vous méritez de vivre libre en pleine possession de vos terres votre histoire et votre croyances car vous n'avez jamais détruit la terre ni même l'humanite vous méritez d'y vivre en paix ❤j'espère qu'un jour et je sais que demain un jour quand l'homme moderne aura fait le tour de tous ces péchés et ces vices afin de détruire le monde et de lui même connaître une culture et un peuple aussi vaillant que ces nomades devrait être digne d'avoir sa propre école en complément de ceux qui leur serait ou sera utile pour survivre Encore plus loin dans ce monde car si un jour la folie de l'homme moderne détruit le monde on sera tous content detres sauves par nous mêmes et d'avoir les capacités de pouvoir survivre à une Apocalypse grâce à cette humanite que rien ni personne n'a pu ou pourra acheter ou corrompre car la liberté n'a pas de prix si se n'est le prix de la vie elle même longue vie à tous ces nomades ilS seront être justes je pense concernant les choix à venir pour leur avenir des avis du monde moderne moi je prie et continuerai de croire en tous ces peuples nomades ou sages qui se batteront toujours afin de perséver la culture que leurs ancetres et familles ont toujours honorés résistance et perservation respect de tous cet héritage laissé ou bafoué alors que Nous devrions tous avoir le droit le choix et le devoir de devoir honorer leurs cultures ancestrales que nos familles ont choisie pour leurs descendances pour soi comme pour et dans le respect des autres je salue le courage et la sagesse de tous ces nomades voulant rester dans les steppes de Mongolie je pense qu'ils ont raison de mener un tel combat ici bas que nous devrions aussi faire l'effort d'accepter que ces peuples ont aussi un rôle à jouer et à maintenir au sein de la préservation de la terre et de celle de lhumanite.

[@Momochangzb]

You get used to it. I'm from Mongolia and lived in the US 15 years. I think I would take Mongolian dry cold than the US wet cold 🤣😅 ( wet cold because of the close proximity to ocean and humidity, it's bone chilling). You wear good wool clothes and eat lot of meat, fat and dairy you can survive. I have been struggling with the US humidity hot weather 😫, after 15 years I still want to stay home where my AC is when it's 100degrees out.
