Pegaya Orda (Piebald Horde)
The name of the Piebald Horde is not entirely clear. In different dialects of the Selkup language PEӶ - elk, PEӃӃ - elk, OR or ORFUL - strong, ORFUL ӃUP - strong man, hero. The name PEGAYA HORDE can be translated as a strong people or heroes of the sacred elk. The piebald horde was formed in the conditions of constant wars. The Selkup leaders fought against the Khanty, Evenks, Kets, and Tatars. The piebald horde was a system of petty Selkup leaders. Through this work, I display the name of our multinational people (Selkups, Khanty, Mansi, Evenks, Chulyms) who live in the Tomsk region.
