Baraba

The Baraba Tatars or Paraba Tatars are a sub-group of Siberian Tatars and the indigenous people of the Ob-Irtysh interfluve. After a strenuous resistance to Russian conquest and much suffering at a later period from Kyrgyz and Oirat raids, they now live by agriculture — either in separate villages or along with Russians. Some of them still speak the [[Baraba Tatar dialect<|Baraba dialect]] of Siberian Tatar. They traditionally live on the Baraba Steppe. Their historical administrative center was the town of Ton-Tura.
