Umka will tell about the culture and traditions of the indigenous peoples of the North in a cartoon

The Soyuzmultfilm studio presented an educational project for children – the mini-series “Umka Invites to the North.” Its main character, who became a favorite character in the 1969 Soviet cartoon, now talks about the culture and life of the indigenous peoples of the Arctic. Sever-press reports this.

In new educational videos, Umka introduces viewers to the traditions of the Chukchi, Nenets, Khanty, Evenki, Mansi, Nanai and Eskimos. From the series you can learn how a yaranga and an igloo work, why deer are irreplaceable helpers in the tundra, and how the New Year is celebrated in the North.

“Each episode combines both documentary and fairy-tale elements, telling about traditional trades, crafts, and folklore of the indigenous peoples of the Arctic,” says the studio’s press service.

All episodes have already been published on Soyuzmultfilm’s social networks and are available for free viewing. The initiative was part of a larger project to reboot the classic image: in 2022, the studio re-released the original 1969 cartoon to introduce it to modern children.
