Three people came. One was a Buryat, another was a Tuvan, the third was a Tatar. They began to live in a new place, fish, and hunt wild animals. One day, while hunting, they caught a fawn, tamed it, and after a while they had a lot of deer, a lot of food and clothing. How there was a lot of food and a lot of people. Then these three clans settled: one along Uda, another along Ie, the third in Gutara. And so the Tofalar people were formed.
