Who they are

The Hill Mari are a people of Finno-Ugric origin who inhabit the high banks of the Volga River in Russia. With their own distinct language and customs that set them apart from other Mari groups, they keep their rich cultural identity alive. Although historically connected to the Orthodox tradition, ancient traditional practices focused on the elements of nature remain present in community life.
