Encyclopaedia of Uralic Mythologies #4
Selkup Mythology
Selkup Mythology is the fourth volume of the Encyclopaedia of Uralic Mythologies, edited by Anna-Leena Siikala, Vladimir Napolskikh and Mihály Hoppál, which offers a basis for the study of the roots and present nature of Finno-Ugric and Samoyed religions.
The volume introduces readers to the mythic narratives, beliefs and religious traditions of the Selkups, an indigenous group speaking a Samoyed language. The tiny Selkup population consisting of less than 4000 persons lives in a vast area in the west of Siberia; their nearest linguistic relatives are other Samoyed-speaking peoples, the Nenets, Enets and Nganasans, and the Ob'-Ugrians (Khanty and Mansi).
