Ortz or teepee in a Dukha (Tsaatan) community, Mongolia

An ortz (teepee) bathes in evening light with reindeer antlers left outside to dry, Mongolia. The antlers are sold and used to make carvings for tourists. Approximately 200 families comprise the Tsaatan or Dukha community in northwestern Mongolia, whose existence is intimately linked to their herds of reindeer. Photo © Robert van Sluis
