Abstract

In my presentation I will show how converted into evangelical Christianity Nenets and Khanty re-narrate their family stories and local histories, while trying to suit it to their new Christian life. They revise their past, adjusting it to Christian paradigm, internalizing Christian values and key concepts. As I will show, these narrative strategies produced a new sensibility and explicitly new awareness of indigeneity, in some respects moving the native converts into a process of indigenous revitalization.
