Summary/Abstract: The main emphasis of this paper is on Buryat place-making in Ulan-Ude. In order to provide insight into the variety of social behaviors in this regard, attention has been pinpointed upon indigenization of urban landscape and architecture, shamanic activity in the city, new temporalization and local politics of memory. As a consequence of these processes, new indigenous senses of urban space, time and history are established.
