Burunda

Burunda lies in the wooded country associated with the Selemdzha and middle Amur. Rivers and forest routes linked communities across a region whose political relationships changed over the centuries.

In 1409 the Ming established the Nurgan Regional Military Commission at Tyr on the lower Amur, seeking relations with communities across the wider frontier. In the seventeenth century Qing forces advanced against the Evenk and Daur federation led by Bombogor, which was defeated in 1640. These events belong to the broader Amur region rather than to a documented history of Burunda itself.
