Source term: bullroarer
Reindeer-herding Nenets in northwest Siberia still sounded bullroarers in ritual into the late twentieth century.
A fact of interest in this context is that the indigenous reindeer-herding Nenets in North West Siberia still used the bullroarer as a ritual instrument in the late 20th century.
