The Evenki Memorial Tree and Trail: Negotiating with a Memorial Regime in the North Baikal, Siberia

Based upon the ethnography gathered among Evenkis living in Kholodnoye village in the northern coastal area of Lake Baikal in Siberia this article discusses relationships between local memorial practices and official memorial regimes.
