Nenets are the last nomadic people living in Arctic Russia of the Yamal Peninsula. This story describes the activities of the Nenets women inside the chum. A chum is a temporary dwelling used by the nomadic Uralic reindeer herders and is the microcosm of the Nenets women. Normally, the women mainly spend the day inside the chum whilst the men work outside.
