There is caviar in China and I'm sure sturgeon caviar is available.
These fish are found in northern China. Actually, they're found all over the northern part of the world. Apparently, they can live up to 100 years old or so.
There are some here in North America. People sometimes smoke the meat. I've heard that it's tough and stringy, like turkey or chicken but obviously tastes like fish. I'm not to interested in eating anything that is a bottom feeder and accumulate toxins for over a 100 years.
goodlooking minorities
Chinese girls are so amazing

Ewenki people 鄂温克族
Ewenki people or Evenki 鄂温克族 are an official recognized ethnic group of China. Ewenki are Tungusic people of North Asia with about 32,000 living in China and about 35,000 living in Russia near Lake Baikal and Amur River regions. The Ewenki are sometime conjectured to be connected to the Shiwei people who inhabited the Greater Khingan Range in the 5-9th centuries, although the native land of the majority of Ewenki people is in the vast regions of Siberia between Lake Baikal and the Amur River. Most Ewenki in China live in the NE most of Inner Mongolia's Hulunbuir Prefecture 呼伦贝尔, near the city of Hailar 海拉尔 along with the Daurs 达斡尔族. There also around 3,000 of them in the bordering Heilongjiang Province. Traditionally Ewenki in China were reindeer herders while their counterpart in Russia were horse breeders, although many move to other industries today in China. The Ewenki were incorporated into the Manchurian banners after the were conquered by the Manchu.
In China most of the Ewenki belong to a subgroup called Solon Ewenki 索伦鄂温克; the remaining are the Oroqen people 鄂伦春族 (10,000) and the Yakut Ewenki 雅库特鄂温克. The Oroqen are separated into another ethnic group in China and the Yakut remain with the Ewenki and is the only group in China engage in reindeer herding. The Solon that traveled with the Xibe in the "Westward Migration" in 1763 to Xinjiang under the order from Emporer Qianlong are pretty much assimilated into the Xibe group.
The Ewenki speak a Manchu-Tungusic language and most of them are animists, Shamanists and Tibetan Buddhists.

Ewenki adopted Manchu scripts
Before the adoption of the Manchu scripts this was one way to pass their histories to the next generations. The others being songs, stories, folklore ...etc

Ewenki people 鄂温克族
The Ewenki are one of a handful of ethnic groups in China live by the extreme NE corner in Inner Mongolia and Helongjiang provinces, in the Greater and Lesser Khingan mountain ranges near the borders of Russia and Mongolia (outer). The temperatures could drop to -50 degree Fahrenheit in the deep winters. How can they survive these kind of harsh environments?
First every Ewenki, young and old, must have a few pair of these water proofed boots
A heavy fur coat, with multiple layers of clothes inside, and other accessories
Heavy daily diet of fatty meat, hot sauces are optional
Do not venture out to the forest by yourself without proper precautions
Always have a best friend or two with you all the time
A proper form of transportation is a must

Simple yurts
A museum yurt
A yurt with tree bark outer wall
A square tree bark yurt
Thatched roof yurts
A quick pickup and go
Permanent yurt village for cow husbandry
A few of these new Ewenki villages sprung up in 鄂温克族自治旗伊赫塔拉 (Ewenki Autonomous Banner in Hulunbuir) last decade or so

Great stuff, ahfatzia.
I've see footage of Ewenki from Russia and they were reindeer herders as well. I'm very much a wilderness enthusiast and absolutely love this sort of thing. What drew me to learn more about the Ewenki was their love of bushcraft and simple way of living.
I believe though that the Sami or Saami from the Scandinavian region are also reindeer herders.

I know what you mean. I myself love everything nature and wish men wouldn't disturb the balance of it as much as possible.
When it comes to reindeer herding it seems the Ewenki cross border brothers and sisters in Siberia will have to carry on the tradition in the future because that trade is dying in China for a couple of reasons. First by the latest physical appearances of the Ewenki in post #521 and #522 they're doing well economically and in such cases no young generations follow the harsh footsteps of their forefathers. They have many attractive alternatives these days.
Secondly the economic bloom and industrialization begin to reach every corner of NE China and that spells bad news for the reindeer and their natural habitats below Helongjiang because they cannot breed captive. Lastly climate changes will push the reindeer's preferred environments to much higher latitudes.
Even as of today I only see small scale commercial cooperative style of reindeer herding by the Ewenki to satisfy the niche market.
