Koryakia (Koryak Land)

Lyubov A. Evigyna

Story

The story of this work: we found an old work, even the color was not visible. We decided to restore it. This is how it came out. Almost all symbols of our northern Koryakia are depicted this work. Yurt is the original dwelling of the nomadic Chukchi who live in the northern villages of Koryakia.

Volcanoes and a variegated rainbow are direct phenomena of the nature of our Koryakia. Sea, river, fish (here we can also mean the ocean with killer whales, beluga whales, whales and other marine mammals), as well as freshwater rivers, lakes and reservoirs full of various fish and salmon. Reindeer is an animal that has been associated with Indigenous people from time immemorial, because the deer is our food, clothing, housing and a means of transportation.
