M ost research on animal dom estication focuses on the relationships between
hum ans and one particular species. However, only the dog, the first species to
be dom esticated, enjoyed the exclusivity o f being the sole domestic animal pres
ent when it was integrated into hum an societies. All other anim als dom esticated
thereafter had to adapt to a new environm ent peopled not only by humans, but
also by other species, even if only the dog. A nthropized environm ents were more
exactly anthropo-canified environm ents. In this chapter, we investigate dom es
tication processes through the interactions between three species: humans, dogs
and reindeer in N orth Asia. H ow can these three species negotiate a shared liveli
hood, coexist and even cooperate in spite o f their differences in needs and behav
ior? H ow does each species change the biosocial environm ent o f the other two?
W hat kind o f different hybrid com m unities do they shape in the different cultural
and-ecological contexts o f the North?
The purpose o f this chapter is to investigate the synergy o f collaborative activi
ties o f hum ans, dogs, and reindeer in hybrid com m unities (hereafter H D R com
m unities) in northern Russia. To do this, we utilize data from the 1926-1927 Polar
Census, a unique project initiated by the Soviet Central Statistical A dm inistra
tion to gather prim ary data on the whereabouts, economy, and living conditions
o f the population living in the Arctic and Subarctic (Pokhoziaistvennaia perepis’
1929; A nderson 2011); we have supplem ented this with inform ation from literary
sources from the early 1900s and data from our own fieldwork in different regions
o f Siberia. These sources o f inform ation allow us to present a fairly complete
picture o f the coexistence and mutual activities o f anim als and hum ans in HDR
com m unities in tundra, taiga (boreal forest), m ountainous, and coastal (m aritime)
landscapes. The Polar Census contains data on ju st over 33,000 nomadic and
settled local households, 270,000 people, 100,000 dogs, and 1,800,000 reindeer
(Table 15.1).
The Polar Census prim arily registered households involved in reindeer herding,
fishing, and hunting for fur-bearing animals, sea m ammals, ungulates, waterfowl,
and upland gam e birds ( Tetraonidae), as well as gathering berries, mushrooms,
birds’ eggs, and m any other items. The area covered by the Polar Census was a
special region, which in Russia is usually called the North or Far North. Accord
ing to the data from the Polar Census, 35.4% o f its population was nomadic, and

the rem aining 64.6% were residents o f small villages and trading posts. These
included com m unities from m ore than 20 different indigenous northern peoples
speaking different languages, and small groups o f R ussians who had interm ar
ried with them. The latter partly adopted the aboriginal populations’ lifestyles.
We argue that in these northern com m unities, cooperation between people, dogs,
and reindeer, through w hich various forms o f traditional econom y developed,
successfully existed, and were transform ed through various historical processes.
A t the same time, the role played by people, reindeer, and dogs, and the func
tions that each category carried out in these sym biotic com m unities, changed in
response to political, economic, and social challenges, some o f which emerged
from the center o f Russia.
Cooperation was achieved through a variety o f innate and acquired abilities and
practices o f each o f the three participants in the HDR community. Some o f these
abilities are probably genetic, while others have been acquired in the course o f
their joint activities (Stepanoff 2012). Particular abilities were tied to each indi
vidual’s intrinsic characteristics, while others were worked out in the course o f
their joint activities. The developm ent o f relevant capacities allows everyone to
contribute to the overall synergistic activity o f the community, nam ely to perform
a specific set o f functions forming an integrated part o f every type o f com m u
nity in various forms and com binations. On the one hand, these com binations
depended on local conditions - relations o f the com m unity w ith the natural “sus
taining” landscape. On the other hand, they were also contingent on the historical
traditions o f each ethnic group. As a result, even w ithin very sim ilar types o f envi
ronments, the structure o f H D R com m unities and the roles o f each o f the three
participants were often significantly different.
H u m a n -d o g -r e in d e e r h o u s e h o ld ty p o lo g ic a l g r o u p s
The m aps w hich in Figures 15.1 and 15.2 m ade it possible to characterize H D R
com m unities in all o f the 56 census areas, are based on the data provided by the
Human-dog-reindeer communities in Siberia
265
Polar Census. Nom adic (Figure 15.1) and settled (Figure 15.2) households were
presented in the materials o f the Polar Census separately, while settled households
were further divided into sedentary indigenous and settled Russian groups. The
ratio o f dogs and reindeer in nom adic and settled households significantly var
ied, but the differences between Russian and indigenous settled households were
rather small.
Nom adic households in the tundra possessed by far the largest percentage
(95.7% ) o f all reindeer. They also had the largest reindeer herds, the m ajority o f
w hich were kept largely as sources o f m eat and skins. In contrast, the nomadic
peoples o f the taiga, as well as m any settled native and Russian households,
kept reindeer prim arily as transport animals. Since they required relatively few
transport reindeer, their herds were not as large as those o f the tundra nomadic
households.
Sedentary households owned the largest percentage o f dogs (74.3%), and these
were categorized in the census data as sled dogs. The nom adic groups em ployed
reindeer sleds or rode on reindeer, and in turn had a small num ber o f sled dogs,
or som etimes none at all. In the census data, m ost nom adic households also pos
sessed pastoral dogs, while hunting dogs were present both in nomadic and settled
families (Table 15.1).
The analysis o f the data from the Polar Census in a regional context where we
used ju st one formal criterion - the ratio o f dog and reindeer num bers - allowed
us to distinguish six m ain typological groups o f H D R com m unities (Table 15.2).
The first group includes households o f sea m am m al hunters and fishers (mainly
Chukchis, Eskim os, Koryaks, and Russians) living on the coasts o f the Pacific and
the Arctic oceans. As a rule, these households had no deer, and possessed m any
sled dogs, w hich form the prim ary m eans o f w inter transportation. Dogs were also
particularly critical in hunting seals and polar bears. To date, however, sled dogs
have alm ost entirely disappeared in these areas. In C hukotka and Kam chatka dog
sledding has now becom e m ostly a hobby. Since 1991 dog sled races have regu
larly taken place in which 10-20 sleds travel several hundred kilom eters along the
coast o f the Pacific O cean (B ogoslovskaia 2011: 38-65). Furtherm ore, dog sled
races have also become an im portant part o f Reindeer herder’s day celebrations in

The second group o f HDR com m unities is based on the large herds o f rein
deer, w hich people keep prim arily as sources o f m eat and that take part in annual

large groups o f deer. The other groups engaged in reindeer herding in the tundra
possessed m uch sm aller num bers o f herding dogs. However, by the m id-twentieth

(B askin 2 0 0 9 :2 5 1 ,2 5 5 ).

Human-dog-reindeer communities in Siberia
267
some sled dogs are to be found nearly everywhere. A lthough this looks strange
at first glance, this general pattern can be explained. Historically, Chukchi can be
divided into nom adic reindeer herders o f the tundra, who traveled with the help
o f reindeer, and sedentary sea hunters and fishers who lived on the coast and used
dog sleds as the main means o f conveyance. H ouseholds from these two Chukchi
groups m aintained ties with each other, including through family visits to each
other’s homes (Vate 2005). Sled dogs in the coastal households were not accus
tom ed to reindeer, and could attack and bite the visiting sled deer while they were
tethered in the m arine com m unities. Therefore, reindeer herders often traveled
with dog sleds instead o f reindeer sleds when visiting the sea coast (K lokov Chukotka field notes).
The fourth group o f H D R households is characterized by nomadic populations
in the taiga. These com m unities included a small num ber o f well-tam ed reindeer,
most o f which were used as riding and/or cargo (pack) reindeer. W hile herding
dogs were absent, hunting dogs played critical roles in these households. Human
hunters in these households, riding on deer, would follow the hunting dogs who
would lead them to anim als such as squirrel and sable. Hunting fur anim als rep
resented the m ain source o f income for nom adic taiga households. Furtherm ore,
dogs helped to hunt elk and bear. In these types o f hunts, transport reindeer helped
to cover large distances in the taiga.
This type o f H D R household, widely spread across the Siberian taiga in the
past, is now practiced only in particular areas. M echanical transport, in particular
snowm obiles and tracked vehicles, has nearly nullified the benefits o f hunting
with reindeer. The num ber o f reindeer herder families who continue to nom adize
the taiga is now extrem ely small. Such households still can be found in parts
o f Yakutia, as well as in some areas o f the Irkutskaia and A m urskaia regions
(oblasti), the republics o f Buryatia and Tuva, and K habarovskii and Zabaikal’skii
regions (kraia ).
The fifth group includes sedentary households that held a significant num ber
o f reindeer (so-called izbennoe olenevodstvo; K oz’m in 2003: 95-122). This type
o f household was com m on m ostly for Russian populations (Pom ors) in the Kola
Peninsula. Sim ilar households can also be found in some areas o f Yakutia. People
in these households kept a small num ber o f dogs m ostly for hunting. This type
o f farm disappeared in the m iddle o f the tw entieth century, when reindeer were
replaced by m echanical transport.
Com m unities where reindeer and dogs were present in small num bers we ten
tatively attributed to the sixth, and last, group.

Here we will describe the com plem entary roles and the requirem ents o f the three
species involved in these communities.
Humans overall played a series o f roles in relation to dogs and reindeer. H erd
ers o f course supervised and guided the m ovem ent o f reindeer herds, as a kaiur,
or sled driver, and people guided reindeer and dogs who pulled sleds, transporting
268

people or cargo. People also directed riding deer that carried them upon their
backs, as well as transport reindeer, w hich were loaded with cargo. Hunters
worked in com bination with dogs and reindeer in pursing fur-bearing animals
as well as ungulates, with the reindeer carrying the person, and the dog leading
both to the prey. All o f these ways o f interacting with reindeer and dogs involved
hum an attentiveness and acts o f care and protection. Both reindeer and dogs som e
times required protection from predators, and both would have to be appropriately
interacted with (“tam ed”) to help ensure they w ere suitably prepared for their
required roles. Dogs and reindeer were selectively bred, which was achieved
through isolating choice anim als with one another, and by rem oving anim als from
the breeding pool by killing or castrating them. Further, reindeer (far more so than
dogs) had to be killed and transform ed into food, clothing, dwellings, and other
things. All o f these practices involved yet other sets o f things - sleds, harnesses,
saddles, fences, knives, containers, fires, dwellings, entire landscapes - m any o f
which required construction and m aintenance (Anderson etal. 2017).
The spatial dim ension o f people’s relationships with these anim als is o f great
importance. However, the explanatory m odels o f hum an-anim al relations often
focus on hum an choices and underestim ate the role o f animal agency in this pro
cess (S tepanoff 2017). Generally, people in various ways try to lim it and direct
the m ovem ent o f dogs and deer while, at the same time, m ove in a particular geo
graphical area, taking into consideration the interests and needs o f their animals.
To a large extent people “adjust” their seasonal rhythm s to the grazing require
m ents o f reindeer, as well as to the needs and capabilities o f dogs.
Reindeer provided hum ans a range o f raw m aterials such as meat, skins, ant
lers, and milk, but also gave them labor by pulling and carrying people and goods,
and acted as decoy anim als (Rus. manshchiki) for “wild” deer during hunting.
In the tundra, reindeer can supply people with food, clothing, and m aterials for
nom adic dwellings, and, moreover, every year transported nom adic families and
their belongings for m any hundreds and even thousands o f kilometers. In the
taiga, reindeer m ade the same contributions, but to a sm aller degree. In the tundra,
reindeer herding could be the prim ary and even the sole hum an occupation, but in
the forest, herding was always com bined with other activities, m ost often hunting,
w hich as a rule was the main source o f income. By the early tw entieth century,
tundra reindeer herding was already heavily involved in trade relations. Thus, the
average herd size in a reindeer Kom i Izhem tsy herder household in the tundra
docum ented by the Polar Census was 755.7 anim als and in w estern Chukotka
622.8 head. In contrast, in the taiga people bred reindeer prim arily as transport
animals, rather than as sources o f meat, and the average size o f a herd usually did
not exceed 50-70 head.
Partially as a result o f these radically different herd sizes, reindeer-huinan daily
and long-term interaction also differed between the tundra and taiga. In the forest,
the process o f dom estication had an individual character: hum ans closely worked
w ith each calf, starting from the day it was bom . To do this, in some areas o f the
taiga calves are tethered with ropes im mediately after their birth (D avydov 2014).
This close daily deer-hum an socialization meant that reindeer came to know
Human-dog-reindeer communities in Siberia
269
hum ans relatively well and showed little fear o f them. Such taiga reindeer can
be left for “free-grazing” for a few m onths without hum an surveillance with little
fear that they will becom e “w ild” prior to rejoining hum ans later in the year. In the
tundra, where interactions w ith reindeer are far less direct and intensive, herders
have to constantly m onitor their herds. To do this, people take turns keeping watch
over a herd around the clock (this is typical for N enets and Kom i-Izhem tsy) or
at certain intervals, perhaps once a day or every 2 -3 days, when the w hole herd
is collected together. In a sense, m any tundra deer are m anaged as a single unit,
while only sled reindeer are taught and trained individually.
The places and architectures o f interacting with reindeer in the taiga differ sig
nificantly from those used in the tundra. For example, it was com m on in the taiga
to use smudges, or smoky fires, to protect reindeer from insects. In the warm sea
son, some people built special sheds consisting o f poles and branches to provide
shade for reindeer, since reindeer are very sensitive to overheating. Gathering
reindeer near a sm udge serves as a daily m eans for people to check on their pres
ence and condition, but this is not a one-sided affair - the reindeer benefit from
this, too, acquiring shelter from the sun and insects. In the taiga, people tradition
ally also used fences to keep reindeer, but not all year round: they did this only for
a few months. Fawns are pets both am ong tundra and taiga reindeer herders, and
can som etimes enter hum an dwellings. Such pets are most often deer that were
left without their m others to nurse them. They eat bread from hum an hands and
generally do not live near the herd, but rather stay near people. A fter they have
m atured and can feed w holly on their own, they continue to approach dwellings,
seeking out hum an food.
Reindeer dietary needs also were intertwined with hum an activities. Salt was an
im portant elem ent o f interacting w ith reindeer that gathered near smudges. R ein
deer require some salt in their diet, but it is difficult for them to procure it on their
own, and the deer in effect use people to obtain it for them . Salt is poured on large
stones or roots o f trees, put in w ooden troughs m ade from logs, or even provided
to them directly from the hand. Reindeer consum ption o f this salt keeps them in
close proxim ity to hum ans (and som etimes also dogs), helping to m aintain their
familiarity.
O ver the past decades, dom estic reindeer have unwittingly undertaken a new
and im portant role in Russia - a political one. These anim als have becom e an eth
nic m arker and a cultural symbol o f indigenous peoples o f Siberia, and this role
in ethnic politics is rapidly becom ing increasingly important. Images o f reindeer
can be seen in the crests o f several northern regions o f Russia on the arms o f the
M urm ansk oblast’, Yamalo-Nenets A utonom ous District, as well as on several
dozen arms o f m unicipalities (districts, cities) o f northern Russia.
In this regard, reindeer herding in R ussia is referred to as the “ethno-saving”
branch o f the economy, as the nom adic way o f life o f reindeer herders is said to
allow them to m aintain some cultural distance from the rest o f society, helping
to avoid assim ilation. Thus, as a result o f the mutual adaptation o f hum ans and
reindeer to each other, thousands o f reindeer herder families live alm ost all year
round with their anim als and do not have direct contact with other hum an groups.

Dogs in H D R com m unities perform ed a variety o f functions. They pulled sleds,
som etimes carried loads on their backs, helped people m anage reindeer herds,
and participated in various types o f hunting. Am ong the latter, the m ost im portant
were: hunting fur-bearing anim als (sable, squirrel, etc.), large anim als (ungulates
and large predators), upland game, waterfowl, and seals on the ice.
Dogs developed special skills while undertaking these activities, w hich they
learned by w orking in concert with humans, other dogs, and reindeer. “U niversal”
dogs that sim ultaneously acquired several such skills were rare. Sometim es dogs
and people also pulled loaded sleds together, dogs and people slept next to one
another to share each other’s body heat. In som e cases, dogs’ bodies were used as
sources o f food and-their fat as a m edicine for lung diseases. However, the needs
and capabilities o f dogs im pose serious limitations on the m obility o f people.
For example, for a trip on a dog sled, one needed to consider beforehand how to
provide food (fish or meat) for the animals, w hich exert significant amounts o f
energy during such trips. W hen hunting for sable or squirrel in the fall (which is
the m ost productive period for hunting these animals), dogs m ust run through the
snow, w hich tends to become progressively deeper as the season unfolds. W hen
the snow becomes too deep for dogs, a hunter either com pletely abandons hunting
and returns hom e, or continues hunting using traps.
Living together w ith humans, dogs instinctively perform the signal-guard func
tion, warning o f approaching bears, other predators, and strangers, as well as driv
ing predators away. At the same time dogs use hum ans for protection and defense
from the same predators. In the taiga and tundra, dogs are not ju st watchdogs
who guard dwellings; they usually also accom pany everyone who goes hunting,
fishing, and picking m ushroom s or berries outside the village, and warn them o f
danger by barking. In recent years, their im portance in such roles has increased
along with the growing num ber o f brow n bears, w hich now represent a m ore com
mon threat to residents across the Siberian taiga and even tundra.
R e c ip r o c a l le a r n in g
The relationships between dogs and deer are especially interesting and highly
variable. Dogs from settlements, as well as hunting dogs, w hich are unaccustom ed
to reindeer, can injure reindeer. Dogs living together w ith herders pass a rigorous
selection process with regard to their loyalty to reindeer. People severely punish
dogs w hich show aggression to reindeer, and if this is not enough, kill them.
The classical reindeer herding laika is a dog o f small size. A ccording to Nenets,
a small dog is convenient for the safety o f calves and because it is easier to trans
port it on sleds. One m ight assum e that the training o f reindeer herding laikas
requires a significant num ber o f special techniques. However, N enets reindeer
herders usually do not agree with such statements, but rather em phasize the innate
ability o f the N enets laikas and their ability to learn from older dogs. They do
not teach dogs specially: a dog either is bom w ith certain abilities, and in part
improves upon them or learns them from older dogs. Thus, Nenets reindeer herd
ers said:
Human-dog-reindeer communities in Siberia 271
N enets reindeer herding dogs are able to pasture reindeer as if they got this
from God. R ussian dogs, as well as the Russian people - they do not know
how to do this. The older dog teaches the younger. Even a bad dog is better
than nothing, as reindeer see a dog and gather them selves in a group.
(Klokov - Yamal Peninsula field notes)
These insights o f reindeer herders are confirm ed by observations o f ethologists,
who argue that all highly skilled herding dogs emerge as a result o f intrinsic char
acteristics and learning (Baskin 2009: 152-153; Coppinger and Feinstein 2015).
This is in part learned from watching other dogs, and is to some extent taught by
the herders, whose initial task is to prevent a puppy from driving deer aimlessly.
The main way in w hich herding dogs engage with reindeer is to push deer that
have drifted from the main group back towards the herd. This task the dog per
forms itself. This perform ance is facilitated by the fact that the frightened reindeer
in most cases turns toward, and merges into, the herd, regardless o f w hich way
a dog initially chases them. As soon as a reindeer herder is sure that the reindeer
have turned and m oved to the herd, he calls the dog back to him. In addition, the
dog, ju st like a w o lf beginning to prey on reindeer, usually does not break into the
herd, w hich now presents itself as a dangerous mass o f swiftly m oving feet and
antlers, but rather rushes along its edges, m aking the reindeer stay close to each
other. This is exactly w hat reindeer herders need (Baskin 2009: 152-153).
All reindeer herders em phasize that people do not play a leading role in the
training o f a young dog, but rather that the young dog prim arily learns by m im ick
ing the behavior o f older, m ore experienced dogs. The same opinion exists am ong
taiga hunters concerning the training o f hunting dogs. However, if he does not
possess an experienced dog, a hunter trains the young dog him self, perform ing the
actions usually carried out by a m ore experienced dog. For example, he can find
a sable in a tree in order to show it to the young dog, or he can run along with the
dog following the tracks o f a sable. Despite the fact that the dogs teach each other,
reindeer herders believe that the w orking qualities o f a dog also depend on his or
her master: “There are people who cannot train the dogs, and the dogs w ork well
with some others. I f a person has a dog w hich worked badly, bit reindeer, a new
dog will not w ork well, and vice versa” (Klokov - Yamal Peninsula field notes).
The principle o f “ self-teaching” in HDR com m unities applies not only to dogs,
but also includes reindeer. Thus, when answering questions about the teaching o f
reindeer, hunters and reindeer herders in Tofalaria often deliberately answered
simply: “ learning to use the pack is easy - laid them , tied and that is all” or
“saddled and rode” (K lokov - Tofalaria field notes). Through more detailed and
persistent interviews, it becam e clear that in fact the teaching o f a reindeer occurs
through efforts to ensure that it is docile or “tam e” . The main thing is to ensure
that reindeer are accustom ed to being on a leash, carrying cargo or riders on their
backs, and behaving calmly, without jum ping or attem pting to escape or loosen
their cargo. It is also im portant that taiga reindeer are not afraid o f hunting dogs.
The main m ethod o f such training is recurrently placing both anim als in physical
proxim ity to one another. This is accom plished by tying the deer and dog together
272
Konstantin Klokov and Vladimir Davydov
in various different ways when they are not working. It should be noted that the
training and upbringing o f children in the families o f the nom adic peoples o f the
north is based on sim ilar principles o f im itation or mimesis. Children are not
forced to learn anything; they learn alone by im itating adults (W ulf 2001), and
this im itation plays an im portant role in hum an-anim al relations.
The connection between people, reindeer, and dogs is not only material, but
also em otional and spiritual. Thus, am ong reindeer herders, ethnographers note a
special type o f perception o f the surrounding world, tim e and space called “rein
deer thinking” - the ability o f people to perceive and to observe the world from
this anim al’s perspective (G olovnev et al. 2015: 16-17). Evenki hunters believe
that there is a special relationship between dogs and hum ans. It is even possible
com m unicate with dogs in dreams, and dogs are able to tell their m aster where
gam e m ay be found (Brandisauskas 2017: 201).
C o n c lu s io n
The relationships between hum ans and animals in H D R communities can be con
ceptualized as variable forms o f asymmetrical interdependence. O n the one hand,
people to a certain extent act as masters and organizers o f human-animal coop
erative activities. On the other hand, hum ans have to synchronize their daily and
seasonal rhythms with the needs o f their animals, upon which they are heavily reli
ant. In most northern Russian indigenous communities, the relationships between
humans and reindeer are paramount. For example, the needs o f reindeer heavily
influence the selection o f seasonal campsites and nomadic routes, as well as herd
ers’ daily sleep and rest schedules. Large numbers o f either reindeer or dogs cannot
be economically fed everywhere across the North. Large reindeer herds need vast
pastures rich in reindeer moss and with a chilly climate and the possibility o f migra
tion over long distances. This com bination o f ecological conditions can be observed
mainly in the tundra, and the Polar Census data clearly show that larger herds were
found in the tundra than in the taiga. Relatively small numbers o f dogs, perhaps
only 2 -3 individuals, are needed for hunting or for controlling even a large herd o f
reindeer. Larger numbers o f dogs are needed in settings where these animals are the
primary means o f transport. One needs an average o f 5-10 strong and obedient dogs
for one sled. People need fish or meat year-round to feed their dog teams, although
they mostly work only in winter. In winter, each dog needs around 1.5-2 kg o f fish
or m eat per day, while in summer they eat far less. To feed one team consisting o f
10 sled dogs for one year, one needs 3 -4 tons o f fish (Chikachev 2004: 18). Such
quantities o f protein m ay only be provided by households o f fishers and marine
hunters. A contributing factor is that the sea often throws ashore corpses o f walruses
and whales, whose m eat can help to feed a dog team for a few months.
Thus, the sym biosis o f hum ans, reindeer, and dogs in different types o f land
scapes was based on the use o f different types o f biological productivity provided
by natural ecosystems. In the m ainland tundra, the main com ponent o f the HDR
systems was large herds o f reindeer, consum ing plant resources - forage pasture
plants. Hum ans and pasture dogs (where they could be found) depended on rein
deer as the m ain source o f food, and, in the conditions o f the market, as income.
Human-dog-reindeer communities in Siberia 273
In coastal landscapes, the dog was the m ain com panion o f hum ans, who used it
to harvest biological resources o f the aquatic ecosystems. Only in some areas, for
example, in the lower reaches o f the Yenisei River (Klokov 2000) and in the delta
o f the Ob River (Klolov - Yamal Peninsula field notes, 2013), sled dogs were
partially replaced by reindeer, which were used to transport fish caught for sale. It
is important to m ention that at these places reindeer were often fed on fish, which
was also eaten by people and dogs.
The com bination o f these two types o f HDR com m unities m ade it possible to
harvest the m axim um o f bio-resources in the continental and aquatic landscapes
o f the Arctic zone as a whole. In the Subarctic (in the taiga zone), the symbiosis o f
humans, reindeer, and dogs had a different structure. Here it was aim ed at collect
ing the m axim um result from hunting gam e animals: fur-bearing animals and wild
ungulates. Hum ans achieved this goal jointly with a riding reindeer and a hunting
dog. Thus, each o f these three m ain groups o f H D R systems was focused on the
use o f three different types o f biological productivity o f natural landscapes: plant
resources in the tundra and forest-tundra, fish and m arine m am m als in coastal
landscapes, and wild animals in the taiga.
The resilience o f such systems can be explained from the standpoint o f environ
m ental synergy. Reindeer can be considered as the central com ponent o f the HDR
community, since it is the only one o f the three who can live in the tundra and taiga
without the two other members. First o f all, the role o f hum ans is to stabilize such
systems. In natural conditions, three m ain factors regulate the num ber o f wild
reindeer populations: predators (m ost often, the wolf), diseases, and feed base.
H erders can at times weaken the effect o f these destabilizing factors by regulating
the num ber o f reindeer in their herds by increasing or decreasing the num ber o f
slaughtered anim als. Therefore, catastrophic fluctuations in the num bers o f wild
reindeer populations occur frequently but rarely in the case o f dom estic reindeer
(Syroechkovskii 1986: 150-156; Baskin 2009; 24-63). The reindeer herders’ dog,
unlike the wolf, affects the num ber o f reindeer indirectly, acting as an assistant to
a human, i.e. increasing his ability to m aintain the hom eostasis o f an HDR system.
A riding dog, acting partly as a com petitor o f a riding reindeer, also increases
hom eostasis, since a reindeer and a dog, if necessary, can partly replace each
other. To be m ore specific, the duplication o f systemic links increases the stability
o f the system. By helping humans, a hunting dog plays the role o f an am plifier
since it increases the efficiency o f the hunter’s work. W ith the help o f their dog
and reindeer friends, hum ans have managed to “tam e” the harsh landscapes o f the
Arctic and Subarctic regions, m aking them their home. For a man without a dog
and a reindeer, the northern environm ent has been and rem ains a hostile territory,
w hich can only be conquered with iron, gasoline, and electricity.
