Ox-Back Ride, MoNGOlia

Photograph by Gordon Wiltsie, National Geographic

Often at odds with modern culture, today’s nomadic peoples continue a way of life that their ancestors practiced for thousands of years. While some move entire communities across the harsh landscapes of their native lands, others struggle to find an identity between the world’s political borders.

In northern Mongolia’s Darhad valley, an ox-back ride is sometimes dangerous, but there’s no other way to go: The adults are too busy herding to babysit. Each fall hundreds of nomadic families and some 60,000 animals leave the Darhad valley and travel 40 to 70 miles (64 to 112 kilometers) to winter pastures near Lake Hovsgol.

Gypsy Farmer, Romania

Cutting hay on the outskirts of a Romanian village, Ionel Stoian, like many Gypsies, survives at society’s margins. Once thought to be natives of Egypt—hence the name Gypsies—the Roma, as many call themselves, originated in India.

Bedouin Camp, Egypt

Photograph by Matt Moyer, National Geographic

Simple bread called feteer helps feed Bedouin families in a squatters’ camp near Naama Bay at the southern tip of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. Drought has pushed tribes down from the mountains to seek work, but many Bedouin men remain jobless in a country that has never embraced desert-dwelling tribes.

Bedouin, Saudi Arabia

Photograph by Reza, National Geographic

Near Saudi Arabia’s border with Iraq, Bedouin tribal leaders meet at the tent of a prominent sheikh to break bread, swap stories, and debate news of the day. Despite the kingdom’s precipitous urbanization, the free-ranging spirit of Bedouin culture remains at the core of traditional Saudi identity.

Winter Migration, Mongolia

Photograph by Gordon Wiltsie, National Geographic

A Mongolian boy assembles a ger during his family’s winter migration. Made of felt over a wooden frame, the round tent can be set up in a matter of minutes, and a woodstove can have the dwelling short-sleeves hot by the time the tea’s ready.

Nomadic Herder, Mongolia

Photograph by Gordon Wiltsie, National Geographic

During migration from the Darhad valley in northern Mongolia, a nomadic herder pulls the community’s solar-powered telephone. Solar-powered satellite TV has also come to the valley, even as its people rely on horses for transportation and shamans for guidance.

Berber Woman, Morocco

Photograph by Alexandra Boulat, National Geographic

A Berber woman shows her hand, stained dark with henna for a wedding in the Moroccan town of Taarart. There are about 25 million Berbers—also known as Amazigh—living in Morocco and Algeria. They trace their roots back thousands of years before the seventh-century Arab conquest that brought Islam to the region's mountains and deserts.

Even Men, Russia

Men of the Even—a small group of reindeer herders who roam the valleys and plateaus of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula—re-create a traditional dance honoring a dead bear. One of the peninsula’s indigenous peoples, the Even fish, hunt, and herd reindeer, but rarely kill bears.

Inuit Man, Canada

Photograph by Paul Nicklen, National Geographic

An Inuit man eats muktuk—narwhal skin and blubber—following a hunt in the Canadian Arctic. In the mid-20th century, as more and more Inuit left the seminomadic life of their ancestors and settled in towns, narwhals and other sea mammals once hunted for subsistence became a coveted source of cash.
