Wukwukai is 72 years. For 72 years he has been living in the depths of Chukotka. This is a powerful and wise old man, a man of the Tundra, his life is inseparable from a deer. The Wukvukai clan herds a huge herd, more than 14 thousand heads. The life of the clan is a constant struggle for survival and well-being in the most difficult conditions of Chaun-Chukotka. These people deeply believe in the power of tradition and therefore are successful in their struggle. They are kept by the ancient culture of the Chukchi reindeer herders, they live by it and preserve it. As long as this is so, their world is unshakable. This is the truth of old Wukwukai.
