Abstract

Tömörochir used to be a camel herder in Ejine. In this interview, he talks about the camel reins that he makes for sale. He says that his parents had 4 camels and about 15 goats when he was a child. Likewise, ordinary Torghuts in Ejine were also very poor in the past and the number of animals increased only in the last few decades. Tömörochir adds that herders made camel tools in the past, but today people purchase them from shops. Tools made by Tömörochir are now so much valued that the government keeps some on display in the Ejine county museum.
