Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of a number of folklores works published in the volume “Ritual Poetry and Songs of the Evenks” of the series “Monuments of Folklore of the Peoples of Siberia and the Far East”. These texts were prepared by outstanding Tungus scholars, ethnolinguists, philologists, musicologists G. I. Varlamova, A. N. Myreeva, Yu. I. Sheikin, O. E. Dobzhanskaya and a number of other researchers. The folklore material presented in them reveals the features of the ethnic identification of the Evenks in the cultural aspect. The ethnocultural basis of the Evenk heritage, enshrined in ritual and song folklore, reveals the specificity of this people among other ethnic and linguistic groups, and also allows us to identify the features of the Evenks among other Tungus-Manchu peoples. Rituals and songs serve as the musical-verbal-choreographic basis of a collective sacred act, in which the basic elements of the Evenki ethnic picture of the world are formed and consolidated
