They subsist almost entirely on their herds, making use of their milk, meat, antlers, etc. Their land is sufficiently desolate that nobody else will live there, except the occasional foraging Uz. Despite their low technological level, the Uncolings are the most socially sophisticated of the Hsunchen cultures. Each spring they meet in a huge gathering, and perform ceremonies that require thousands of participants. Great herds of reindeer live in Farther Pent, but have no hsunchen among them. </DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Georgia" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><B><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></B></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px;
