Abstract. This article is an attempt at theoretical systematization of part of the material that was collected by the author during the expeditions to the Solon Evenks people in 2021 and 2022. The collected data themselves are presented in the article ”Religion of the Solon Evenks (based on the materials of the 2021, 2022 expeditions)” of the journal ”Northern Archives and Expeditions” dated June 30, 2023. In the article offered to the reader, the author tries to reconstruct the history of changes in the religion of the Solons from the beginning of their migration to China (mid. XVII century) to the present day. In connection with the successive settlement through several different natural and economic zones, this ethnic group actively changed both objects and means of worship (mainly borrowing religious practices and deities from neighbouring groups – mainly from the Daurians). Ultimately, the group of Solons, that now living in the west of the Autonomous Evenki Banner created a religion that has almost nothing in common with the one that exists among the Evenks of Russia, but at the same time retained the general principle of organizing religious practices. This principle is appeals to a deity in order to influence the factor determining the possibility of obtaining food. At the beginning of the Evenks’ migrations through China, this factor was luck in hunting, at the end – the fall of rains; at the beginning, the Evenks prayed to the spirit of mountains named Bainacha, at the end – to the dragon; at the beginning, Evenks prayers took place at the faces of the deity carved on trees, at the end – at obo.
Keywords: Solon Evenks, Bainacha, ovoo, rain summoning, dragon worship, deregde.
