REPUBLIG FORMED It Is Between Siberian Forests and Mongolia Washington, D. C., June 3—Some- where between the deep Siberian forests and the vast Mongolian des- ert, the Russian government is re. ported to have created the world's tiniest republic—Tannu-Tuva. Tannu-Tuva lies in the valley just north of the Tannu mountains, and southwest of Irkutsk, where the Uriankhai (or forest dwellers) have long roamed in splendid isolation, seldom seen by anyone except a few traders and agents of the Russian government. Reindeer Is Everything. The Uriankhal resemble the round-faced, slant-eyed Mongolians to the south and east of them, but lack the agressiveness of their Oriental neighbors. Hidden away in their valley domain, they eke out a lazy day-to-day existence with their deer herds. The animals are tame and require little attention. As a re- sult, the Urlankhat spends most of hts time lounging about his tepee. Often as many as 600 deer will be aeen around a tribal camp of twenty to thirty tepees. They graze all day and at nightfall not only return to the eamp but to the tepee of their indlvidual owners. Only the off- spring have to be given special care and the women do that. Deer milk, deer meat, and tender roots are the principal foods of the Uriankhai and for clothing they wear deer skins. WWhen they go hunting, they use the deer for trans- portation and the fleet-footed animal is even “charged” with responsibility for Uriankhal intoxicating liquor. Spirits are crudely distilled from fermented deer milk. Women Are Expert Tanners. When the women are not busy with the herd, they dress lhides. With the aid of deer milk and a wooden comb they work the skins until they become as soft and fine as if tanned by modern methods. The tepees are usually full of skins ready to be made into clothing, and other skins for mats, harness and for trad- ing. Modern “flappers” would envy the Uriankhal winter dress, when the tribesmen and women are entirely clothed in furs. Sable, lynx and roe deer cover the Uriankhai's body while their boots are usually of roe deer or musk deer, The cone-shaped hats of the natives are made of black astrakhan turned inside out and cov- ered with colored cloth. A leather belt from which hang a Russian knite and a Chinese pipe, complete the Uriankhai outfit. The young girls dress like the men but the married women wear longer and looser gar- ments. In the summer they don loose-fitting garments of blue cloth acquired from Chinese traders. Trade Furs For Luxurics Perhaps few nomad tribes niove-as little as the Uriankhai. Only twice a year they roll up the bark tepee covers and scek new cangping grounds. Their wanderings are at the convenience of their reindeer herds. In the summer the valley forests become too hot, so the tribes- men seck higher ground. Unlike most nomad peoples, the Uriankhal have no enemies because the natural difficulties of thelr val- ley have kept them almost untouch- ed by outside influence, In the autumn, while the women break camp and move back into the valley, the men hunt for hides for the winter trading season. From the Russians and Chinese they get tea, sugar, wheat-flour, tobacco, snuff and other luxuries. Sometimes a few weeks of hunting will net enough marten, fox, roe deer, glutton and snow leopard hides to buy a year's supply of luxuries and pay the tribute demanded by their chieftains and the Russian government, more civilized world, and appears to have all bis heart desires, with little effort on his part, his face is stamp- e Most of the tribesmen are Buddhists but they still cling to the Nature worship ~( their ancestors. They live in constant fear of the gods of the jmountains, rivers and forests. Ex- plorers cannot get an Uriankhat to accompany them on mountaln climb- {ing expeditions for they believe the mountain peaks are the abodes of certain spirits that they dare not molest. Throughout the valley are rudely cut stone images which the Urlank- hai hold in veneration. They will tell nothing of their origin but hint that the strange gods were made by a strange race. Some of the images are brightly painted or wrapped in colored cloth. The more fertile the flelds or productive the forests, the more images are to be seen. They remind the stranger of scarecrows in a tobacco field. Occasionally an Uriankhai is seen undressed, bowing before an image and heating his forehead with the. palms of his hands. In some camps, small poles dangling with white rags are placed at the door of each tepee to scare away the demon of sickness. Beware of Cemetery ‘When an Uriankhai tribesman dies his body is placed in an open field. The tribesmen know of no form of burfal. They believe a good man is devoured by the beasts and birds of prey but bodies of sinners remain untouched. The cemetery is mark- ed by a white flag which is placed as a warning to strangers that a na. tive of bad character may have re- cently been laid to rest there. For music the Uriankhal sings and plays a flute-like instrument. In. stead of blowing into the instrument, sound is produced by drawing.in the breath, and the result is a mourn- ful tone. It sounds somewhat like a bagpipe “nt, perhaps, the Scotch. man would not appreciate the com- parison. The witch doctor's drum, trumpets, sometimes 10 feet long, and a two-stringed violin make up the rest of the native orchestra. Wrestling is also a favorite Urlank- hai-pastime.
