PROJECT UPDATE 2009
Part One of the “Nomads Life – The Original Way of Living” project has been successfully completed with the project team returning to Amsterdam on 10th October 2008 after 5 months on the road in Mongolia, living amongst and documenting the lives of the Kazakh Eagle Hunters, Mongolian Malchins and the Tsaatan Reindeer Herders.
In the summer of 2009, Part Two of the “Nomads Life – The Original Way of Living” project, will see members of the team sail from England to Nunavut - Canada's Arctic, to spend two months living with the Inuit.
Part Three of the project is scheduled for April 2010, when we will return to Mongolia, trading our hardy expedition truck in favour of horses, travelling from Tsagaan Nuur in the North of Mongolia to Tibet. This journey will take around 18 months to complete, taking us through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, arriving in Tibet in autumn of 2011.
To author a book and create a documentary film comparing Nomadic (pastoral and transient) lifestyles with our sedentary lifestyles and to study the parallels between the different cultures.
Official acknowledgment has been received from the office of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet that his personal blessings will be given upon the completion of the project and book.
