 Mihály Hoppál continued Diószegi Vilmos's work comparing shamanic beliefs of speakers of Uralic languages with those of several non-Uralic Siberian peoples.Although Ugrian folklore preserves many traces of shamanism, shamanism itself was a dying practice among the Khanty and Mansi people by the 1930s.Shamanism is still practiced by many indigenous peoples, but, among the modern Ugrians, shamanism is largely practiced by the Khanty.
