Reindeer Boy  (Darkhad, Mongolia, 2009)

In most herding communities, usually it’s the duty of young boys to take care flocks of cows and sheep, and known as “cowboys”. But for the reindeer herding community of Tsaatan people living in northern taiga of Mongolia, it’s not the ordinary flocks they have to take care of, but the white and mystical reindeers.

Bocah dan Rusa Salju (Darkhad, Mongolia, 2009)

Dalam kebanyakan masyarakat penggembala, biasanya sudah menjadi kewajiban anak lelaki untuk menjaga kawanan sapi dan kambing, sehingga dikenal istilah koboi. Tetapi bagi masyarakat Tsaatan yang merupakan penggembala rusa salju di hutan taiga di Mongolia utara, bocah-bocah ini bukan menjaga hewan ternak biasa, melainkan rusa salju putih dan mistis yang konon merupakan kendaraan Sinterklas itu.
