The publication of the two books is an important event in the indigenous Selkup culture. A survey of indigenous literatures in Russia will show strong common trends, and first of all, the association of human with the nature, awareness of belonging to nature. The two books under review emphasize the love and dedication to nature, native land, desire to preserve and revive possibly the last traces of ethnic heritage. Modern Selkup literature is based on oral folk tradition with its ethnic specifics. It has to be emphasized that these publications have special value as sources of historical and cultural information, as behind the ethnic folk material, there is a wealth of spritual heritage of Selkups, which we are yet to fully comprehend.
