Boris Simchenko stays that according to the function
of women in society Nganasan people divide them in three age groups. The
youngest women, or kopto, not married
and without children, help to look after the latter and dress meat. It is
prohibited for them to make clothes to married men, children or even to their
unmarried brothers. Their main function is to store wood for fire. Ny women, or those who are married and
have children, work with meat of dead deer and the skin, store food, make
clothes and the covering for summer lodging. The ethnographer underlines the more
respectful attitude to the eldest women, inie,
who are responsible for solving conflicts and food distribution. They approve marriages;
ensure celebration activities, sacred and social rules.
