Namunka

Namunka was a name for Udege communities of the coastal side of the Sikhote-Alin. Their country lay among forested mountains and river valleys running toward the Sea of Japan. Hunting and fishing drew on the resources of the taiga and the streams that cut through it, while routes over the ridges connected the coastal valleys with the Ussuri basin. The mountains divide waters flowing east to the sea from those that make the longer journey north to the Amur.
