Tofalar

 

Tofalar

The Tofalar (known also as the Karagas, Karaga, or Tubalar) are a Turkic-speaking people of south Siberia.

The Tofalar were resettled by the Soviet government by 1932. Young Tofalars learned Russian at new Soviet-built schools, while cultural traditions such as hunting and shamanism were discouraged or prohibited.
