Everything about Tofalars totally explained
Tofalars (Тофалары, тофа (tofa) in
Russian; formerly known as карагасы, or karagas) are a
Turkic-speaking people in the
Irkutsk Oblast in
Russia. Their origins,
language, and
culture are close to those of the eastern
Tuvans-Todzhins. Before the
October Revolution, the Tofalars used to be engaged in
nomadic
reindeer breeding in
taiga and
hunting. The Tofalars were resettled by the
Soviet government by
1932. Young Tofalars learned Russian at new Soviet-built schools, while cultural traditions such as
hunting and
shamanism were discouraged or prohibited. According to the
2002 census, there were 837 Tofalars in
Russia (2,828 in 1926, 476 in 1959, 570 in 1970, 576 in 1979 and 722 in 1989).
