The original paper was printed in the “Soviet Ethnography &rdquo, 1985 No.5, pp. 92-97. The author E. A. A LEKSEENKO began her Ket study in the latter half of 1950s in West Siberia. In 1971 fortunately she had a chance to be invited to a bear festival held in a Ket village on river Elogui, a tributary of middle Enisej River. She describes whole process of the festival in detail while she observed as a participant of the event, including the information gained thereafter. Many interesting comments are given from the comparative study based on different literature of other Siberian peoples.
