In recent years, the Torghuts in Bayangol have attempted to return to their traditional kinship system to prevent assimilation into surrounding ethnicities, particularly the Chinese. However, there are two opposing views on this matter. Supporters claim it protects traditional culture, while opponents argue it fragments the unified Oirat Mongolian identity into a clan-based segmentary society, potentially leading to further assimilation by others. Nevertheless, the video shows how Torghut culturalists have been striving to document their genealogical histories by interviewing elders. Dawa is the eldest person in the Chomudiin Sum. Together with Chomudiin Sum, the other Sums – Sengeen Sum, Marshigiin Sum, and Doglongiin Sum – compose the Baruun Banner, one of six banners in Bayangol. Chomudiin Sum consists of four tenths, each a direct blood lineage. These kin-based social organisations have disappeared in other Mongolian regions after a series of communist ideological transformations. However, prior to contemporary trend, other Torghut genealogical books start from the historical event of the eastward migration from the Volga region in 1771, which took the lives of many Torghuts. Since then, documenting the remaining population has been a priority for the Torghuts. The video also discusses the notorious deeds of the Torghut Noyan Buyankhishig, who was one of the most infamous Noyans among the Torghuts in Bayangol.
