  • Lords of the Mongolian Taiga
    LORDS OF THE MONGOLIAN TAIGA: An Ethnohistory of the Dukha Reindeer Herders W. Alan Wheeler A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Central Eurasian Studies, Indiana University December 2000 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Christopher P. Atwood Supervisory Committee György Kara Larry Moses Date ii To Kim iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Christopher Atwood and Professor György Kara for their encouragement, guidance and advice during my studies at Indiana and throughout the writing of this thesis. I am grateful to Otto Farkas, not only for his invaluable assistance in providing me with his personal insights and materials on the Dukha, but also for his friendship during the years we worked together on various undertakings such as the Mongolian Reindeer Fund (MRF). I would also like to thank O. Sükhbaatar, S. Battulga, and other colleagues and friends at the MRF whose knowledge and expertise I came to depend on greatly. A special thanks goes to Morten Pedersen for his useful suggestions and comments during our brief period of fieldwork together and through ongoing discussions about northern Mongolia. It goes without saying that I am indebted to the Dukha themselves who were always warm and hospitable, never allowing me to feel like a stranger or burden to them when I am certain to have been both at times. Finally, it should be known that this thesis would not have come to completion were it not for the endless love and support from my wife, Kim—God’s perfect gift that keeps giving and giving.
