Managir

Managir, also recorded as manjagir, was one of the tribal self-designations used by Evenki bands of the Aldan and Amga taiga, south-east of the Lena in what is now southern Yakutia. These reindeer-hunting clans were drawn into the Russian yasak network as Cossacks pushed east from the Lena along the south Yakutian rivers in the 1600s.
