Who is the ‘chumworker’? That’s what housewives are called in the Far North. By the way, it’s an official profession there. Pavla Ledkova, the heroine of our post, is one of them. She has a huge chum (like a wigwam or yurt made from reindeer hides) at her disposal. She harvests firewood every day, washes clothes, cooks food and raises seven children. All this is in the harsh conditions of the tundra. Pavel is the wife of a reindeer herder. And they are a nomadic people. Therefore, the family does not stay in one place for more than two or three days. Watch the film ‘Tundra Wonder Mums’ (2020) about her life. #humanstories FOLLOW ?
