Tschum
Chanting before a Tschum
The Tschum , also Spitz yurt , is a traditional dwelling of the Khanty , Mansi and Nenets in the West Siberian lowlands and other peoples of Siberia . It consists of a frame made of wood - mostly Siberian stone pine or birch - and is covered with fur or fabric, originally also with birch bark. Thus it is similar to the tipi from North America or the Lávvu of the northern European Sami .
Since the Chanten originally lived as nomads , they erected Tschum scaffolding at various summer and winter camps, which remained in place while the skins were taken on the hiking trains.
