Idolatry - the worship of idols - has a bad name because of strong prohibitions found within the three dominant Abrahamic religions - Dolls Christianity, Islam and Judaism - but I would argue that idolatry is important and natural, part of the and animistic mindset, which I think human beings are hardwired with. Ritual DOLLS AS ACTUAL PEOPLE Probably the most important form of doll found in shamanistic and animistic practices around the world, are dolls which represent ancestors. These are very common, and they can take the form of small amulets, right up to large statues. The modern West tends to see large figures as sculptures, pieces of art, which are dead, we have a ‘dead-matter-thinking’ culture and so it’s natural for us to think a statue representing a dead person is just a lifeless image - a ‘keep sake’ of some sort, or a figure to remember and honour them. For most indigenous cultures however that is not the case, as, of course, a carving is ‘alive’ and ‘awake’; it ‘is’ the person, or at least acts as a focus for that person, being given offerings and taken care of, as it guards and advises or watches over its descendents.

  • PRESENT SITUATION of KAZAKH-MONGOLIAN COMMUNITY Ts.Baatar, Ph.D
    The Mongolian Journal of International Affairs Number 8-9, 2002 PRESENT SITUATION OF KAZAKH-MONGOLIAN COMMUNITY Ts.Baatar, Ph.D (Mongolia) The name and identity “kazakh” emerged in the sixteenth century, when a Kazakh Khanate was founded in today’s Kazakhstan. The Kazakh aristocrats trace their origin directly to Chinggis Khan or his sons. In the sixteenth century, ethnic Kazakhs were historically divided into three clans or zhuzes: The senior zhuz, the middle zhuz, and the junior zhuz. Once under the rule of the Oirad Mongols in the seventeenth to eighteen centuries, some middle zhuz Kazakhs later moved into Jungaria. The Kazakhs in Mongolia are mostly Abak-kerei and Naiman Kazakhs who settled in the Altai and Khovd regions, where they rented pasture from the lords of Mongolia during the 1860s according to Tarbagatai Protokol between Russia and Qing Dynasty. The nomads came to graze their sheep on the high mountain pastures during the summer, and spent the winter in Kazakhstan or Xinjiang province in China. After the Mongolian revolution in 1921, a permanent border was drawn by agreement between China, Russia and Mongolia, but the Kazakhs remained nomadic until the 1930s, crossing the border at their own will.1 The word kazakh is said to mean ‘free warrior’ or ‘steppe roamer’. Kazakhs trace their roots to the fifteenth century, when rebellious kinsmen of an Uzbek Khan broke away and settled in present-day Kazakhstan. In Mongolia, more than in Kazakhstan, Kazakh women wear long dresses with stand-up collars, or brightly decorated velvet waistcoats and heavy jewelry. The men still wear baggy shirts and trousers, sleeveless jackets, wool or cotton robes, and a skullcap or a high, tasseled felt hat.2 In 1923 the Mongolian Kazakh population numbered 1,870 households and 11,220 people.3 Subsequently, many more have come to Mongolia from 3 Paul Greenway, Robert Story and Gobriel Lafitte (1997), Mongolia (Lonely Planet Publications), p.231.

This article is published with open access Abstract Kalmyks, the only Mongolic-speaking population in Europe, live in the southeast of the European Plain, in Russia. They adhere to Buddhism and speak a dialect of the Mongolian language. Historical and linguistic evidence, as well a shared clan names, suggests a common origin with Oirats of western Mongolia; yet, only a limited number of genetic studies have focused on this 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: topic. Here we compare the paternal genetic relationship of Kalmyk clans with ethnographically related groups from Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan and China, within the context of their neighbouring populations. A phylogeny of 37 high-coverage Y-chromosome sequences, together with further genotyping of larger sample sets, reveals that all the Oirat-speaking populations studied here, including Kalmyks, share, as a dominant paternal lineage, Y-chromosomal haplogroup C3c1-M77, which is also present in several geographically distant native Siberian populations.
