People in Siberia have always depended on hunting and livestock. Tuva is the southern part of Siberia where people still believe in the natural forces.Animistic shamanism is one of the main religious directions in the Republic of Tuva. Traditions are very strong in that region. Tuvinian government is willing to develop tourism, and it is a good opportunity because of the beautiful nature and nomadic culture. The first railroad is being built now in the region.
