May 14, 2022 the Shuryshkarsky District Museum Complex named after
G.S. Puzyrev in the village of Muzhi hosted the “Native word” contest of young readers in the Khanty language. More than forty children including pupils of the “Buratino” and the “Little Fawn” kindergartens and students of the Muzhi School participated in the competition.

Representatives of the elders, teachers of the Khanty language, social activists and young people supported children and performed as experts and mentors.

All participants were awarded diplomas and memorable prizes. They got copies of the “Khanty mons” comics in the Khanty language by Ivan Sandrin, a public figure from Muzhi.
