1.Project:
The man’s  lifestyle depends on  nature. The Nenets traditions are very old, they date back to the ancient times. The Nenets holidays are connected with the change of the seasons. The native people celebrate the New Year’s Day twice a year: the  first celebration is in  autumn, the second one- in springtime. People have fun, say goodbye to the winter or welcome the spring.
The first period of year begins on the 15th of October and ends on the 15th of May, and the second one lasts from the 15th of May till the 15th of October. Till the 15th of October there is summer, and people go boating and fishing and the reindeers run in harness on the snow ground. It is time to put  the winter chume and to wear warm clothes made of hart’s skin.
The summer is over. Having finished fishing native people go home from the Tazovskaya bay upstream the river Pur. Barefooted and tired they have been going for a long time until the first frost begins. An old shaman comes at last.
In the calendar of native people the New Year’s Day is celebrated in November. A lot of people: grown-ups and children gather together in chume (the house of native people). The shaman heats a tambourine over the bonfire. He bangs the  tambourine  with the rattle, bells ring. There is a superstition: If there are a lot of nuts, but there aren’t mushrooms, the winter will be snowy, cold and the reindeers will be thin.
The first month of the new year “the month of polar fox hunting” begins on the 1st of November. That’s why men go hunting and women have a good opportunity to go and see their relatives.
The New Year’s Day is celebrated by native people cheerfully. They take part in national competitions and organize holiday activities, which are unique as a matter of fact because they reflect culture, traditions and customs of native people. Every year more young people compete in running with the stick, national wrestling, throwing tynzyan on khorey, throwing hatchet,  jumping over national sledges. The Nenets sing national songs, dance and perform the traditional rite “Worship the holy birch”, play national game “Wood grouse and partridge”.
The traditional meal is unusual: raw meat of deer, boiled meat and fish, fish soup, red whortleberry and cranberry drinks, strong tea.
The celebrating of the national New Year by the  Nenets is one of the long- standing traditions, which is kept and observed in our region.

1. To sum up, the New Year’s Day is a common holiday for many countries, but every country has its national features. To know the customs and  traditions  means to understand the people, their art and culture better.
