More About katun
Long ago, katuns were places where people lived with their animals. They moved from place to place to find food for their animals. Each katun had its own way of life. They worked hard and helped each other.
Today, some katuns still exist. They show us how people lived in the past. We can learn from them about caring for animals and nature. They remind us to work together.
In the future, katuns may change. But the spirit of sharing and caring will stay. It is important to keep these ways alive!
