Description
Summary:The topics of environmental education in the nomadic camp, a temporary educational association for children of indigenous minorities of the North, are the study of the fauna of the environment, in our case the territory of the Moma National Nature Park. In environmental education, one of the topics is the knowledge of large predators, bears, which is one of the compulsory disciplines of education. This is due to the fact that the Evenes are one of the nomadic peoples of the North, who live in extreme conditions, where meeting bears is not new. The Moma Evens have developed a huge body of knowledge about the bear, which is passed on from generation to generation. Moma Evenes still strictly fulfil the customs and rituals related to the bear. The article presents various customs, rituals and legends related to this large predator, which children learn not only theoretically, but also in practice.
