(240714) -- HULUN BUIR, July 14, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- Wu Qiming chops firewood at the reindeer herding site in Jinhe Town of Genhe City, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, July 3, 2024. The Aoluguya Ewenki people, known as "the last hunting tribe in China," is the only ethnic minority group in China that raises reindeer. More than 20 years ago, they moved from the deep forests in the Dahinggan Mountains to Genhe City to resettle, but their tradition of herding reindeer was still preserved. Ayousha is one of the Aoluguya Ewenki people who spent her childhood in the deep forest with her family. In order to inherit the ethnic tradition of herding reindeer, Wu Qiming, Ayousha's husband and man of Han nationality, accompanied her back to the forest from the city in 2019, and together they set up a reindeer herding site in a forest in Jinhe Town. Both born in the 1990s, they are the youngest reindeer herders in the area now. The forests in the Dahinggan Mountains are lush and green i

CHINA-INNER MONGOLIA-EWENKI ETHNIC GROUP-REINDEER HERDER-LIFE (CN)

(230113) -- GENHE, Jan. 13, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Juele chops up firewood at a temporary herding station at the Jinhe forest range near Genhe City, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Jan. 12, 2023. Every two or three days, Juele Bulituotian will head for the Jinhe forest range about 80 kilometers from Genhe City. That's where the 39-year-old Aoluguya Ewenki herder, wearing a traditional fur coat, will find his foraging reindeer. Instead of keeping reindeer in a barn, Ewenki herders let the animals live in the forest and check on them every couple of days. Juele owns over 60 reindeer. He will call his reindeer in the Ewenki language and wait for his reindeer to respond. To him, the jingles of deer bells sound like heaven, which mean his reindeer are around, safe and sound. "I need to make sure my reindeer are not too far away, nor threatened by the predators in the forest." said Juele. The Aoluguya Ewenki people, known as "the last hunting tribe in China," are the only ethnic minority group
