В данной книге представлены материалы, собранные автором у тувинцев сумона Цаган-Нур Хубсугульского аймака Монголии. Название сумона произошло от ближайшего озера Ак-Хол (по-монгольски Цагааннуур). Для обозначения тувинцев-оленеводов используют термин «цаатаны» (в переводе с монгольского языка «оленеводы»). Сами же эти тувинцы не называют себя цаатанами. Их самоназвание «туха кижи».

The book tells us about the spiritual culture of the Tuvans, inhabiting the sumon of Tsagaannuur, Housgol aimak, Mongolia. Their native name is Tukha kizhi, Tukhalar. In scientific literature they also have the name of Tsaatan stemming from the Mongolian word “tsaa-deer”. This ethnic group is the only one in Mongolia engaged in reindeer-breeding. The work contains field data collected by the author in August 1991 and July 2006. The book tells us about the rituals connected with a person, from his birth till his death starting with the rite in honour of a newborn child, then giving him a name and the first haircut ceremony at age of three. A special chapter is devoted to a wedding ceremony. The funeral ceremony is described in the last chapter.
