Description

Af ålder nomadiserade alla роды hvar inom sitt
district. Somliga qvarhålla sig ännu vid denna
lаg; och fastän de veta sig ega rätt att noma
disera öfverallt, wilja de doch ej "öfvergifva
sitt egen land.”
Despite constant movement, pastoralists attach their belonging to certain lands or landscapes, which the Nenets relate to their family histories (Lehtisalo 1932: 91; Stammler 2005: 231–234).

Since the old days, all family groups have nomadised within their own district. Some still hold on to this law; and although they know they have the right to nomadise everywhere, they still do not want to “give away their own land”.

Here, Castrén relates the TN тенз to the Swedish ätt, which is translated as ‘tribe’. Other categories related to family, way of life, and religion are TN еркар and нгэсы. They were used variably in relation to the Russian administration, which is why their meaning also varies according to the time and place. While нгэсы ʻcamp’, clearly relates to an economic unit based on familial ties, it is unsure whether еркар and тэнз mean different things and what the difference between them might be. Both seem to be larger familial units, and Soviet ethnographers divided them into two fratries (Вануйта and Харючи), which, according to them, developed in the course of history into subcategories, the Тысыя, Лэхэ, Выуци, and Вэли. Castrén’s data seems to follow the same lines. See also [роды] (Dolgich 1970: 23; Chomič 1966: 141–158; Vasil’ev 1979: 75–85, 134–156.)

The Pustozersk Samoyeds are divided into three tribes: Lahej, Tiis, and Wuiuh. A collector of jasak is chosen from each tribe, and he is responsible for the whole tribe. It is understood that he is wealthy, but many Samoyeds have lost their fortune because of this work.
