This form of purification (Buryat: ugaalga) is an essential part of every initiation ritual (shanar). Candidates have to be purified by the steam of boiled thyme. This video was recorded in Mongolia (Khentii province Cenkhermandal district) in the summer of 2005. The shamaness and the entranced shaman (husband and wife) are the masters leading the ritual.

all the shamans from the Tos Deer accompany us to visit the most sacred places in Tuva

  • 1ordas says:

    what i said that the native americans originate from siberia was written on a scientific article, based on genetics, you say it is not, well that is up to you, but i think you should educate a bit on your way of talking because it just makes the impresion of an average anybody from the US or other globalized countries

  • Enseni says:

    Lastly, these Tuvans aren’t American Indian. They’re not Native to the Americas, they’re there own people. The idea of haphazardly mixing ways without permission isn’t considered proper by most tradish Indians. I’m not claiming these Tuvans are Natives or any other Central Asian people. They are who they are so let skins be without imposing your cultural view.

  • Enseni says:

    Firstly, for someone who “respects” Native traditions you sure don’t take Native creation stories as to how we all got here. Just like conceited anthros toss those stories by the wayside. What’s to say we didn’t move west and founded your bums? Second, if you think every skin out there is some spiritual guru that oozes friendship and tolerance for every single thing then you’ve got another thing coming. Welcome to the real world where anyone and everyone doesn’t fit into a stereotype.

  • 1ordas says:

    so you say amrican indians dont originate from siberia and central asia, you believe what you want, but why do you comment on this video than, anywyas i am already sorry talking usless and ruining the image of these people on the video who dont deserve that however the way you talk does not fit into the spirit of these people

  • 1ordas says:

    so finally if you are really native american, than we should not argue cos i respect shamantic traditions as also part of culture of my ancestors

  • 1ordas says:

    as i said it is scientifically already proved that native americans originate from central asia and siberia, and are related to these people even after they look and traditions, you can check on these articles just write the key words in youtube
    as i say again, i love native americans and central asians and fell close to them, however i dont think you would be one of them, if you read commnets of native americans in here they usually confuse it with their own people and traditions

  • Enseni says:

    Being Guatemalan Mayan and Huanca/Quechuan, I’d disagree with your retarded assessment as to what I am. Don’t try to fail so hard next time.

  • 1ordas says:

    i am romanian citizen, i just engage in street fights with romania, my mother tongue is hungarian according to ancestry related to asiatic nomad tribes, that is the problem here with our neighbours…
    i am not your bro, and you are not native american just as i am not indoeuropean, i am not native american, don t twist the words i did not say that, however i alwys liked them probably beacuse of similarity to the culture of my ancestors
