@aarti2795 The name of the people and the "mother tongue" is Dukha (pronounced "Doo-ha"). Their language is related to Eastern Tuvan (Tozhu Tyva) and Tofa (of the Tofalar). Compulsory school is in Mongolian, so most of the older generation speak Dukha to each other, but in Mongolian to their children. This has drastically reduced the number of Dukha speakers today.
"Tsaatan" is a Mongolian word for "reindeer herder". The word for "reindeer herder" in Dukha/Tuva is "ivichi".

The subtitles on this video are completely inaccurate. ...a bunch of tear-jerking fluff to make the film makers look sensitive to the culture when the truth is the total opposite.
