GOLDS

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 213 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GOLDS , a Mongolo-Tatar people, living on the Lower Amur in
south
 -eastern Siberia. Their
chief
  settlements are on the right bank of the Amur and along the Sungari and Usuri rivers. In physique they are typically Mongolic. Like the Chinese they
wear
  a pigtail, and from them, too, have learnt the art of silk embroidery. The Golds live almost entirely on fish, and are excellent boatmen. They keep large herds of swine and dogs, which live, like themselves, on fish. Geese, wild duck, eagles, bears, wolves and foxes are also kept in menageries. There is much reverence paid to the eagles, and hence the Manchus
call
  the Golds " Eaglets." Their religion is Shamanism.
See L. Schrenck, Die Volker des Amurlandes (St
Petersburg
 , 1891) ; Laufer, " The Amoor Tribes," in American Anthropologist (New
York
 , 1900); E. G. Ravenstein, The Russians on the Amur (1861).
