The paper is devoted to the study of the fire cult among the Evens, an indigenous small-numbered people of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Fire plays a key role in the spiritual culture of the Evens, acting as an intermediary between the worlds, a source of purifying and protective power. The paper analyzes traditional rites and rituals associated with fire, prohibitions and omens passed down from generation to generation. Hunting traditions and the sacred significance of fire in everyday and ritual life are described. The purpose of the study is to revive interest in the tra-ditions and language of the Evens. The practical significance of the material lies in the possibility of its use in educational and cultural events.
