Especially before people will identify themselves with any particular ethnic group, they must realize that they belong to it and develop ethnic consciousness, which originating, grows over the time.

The role of Shezhire and tamga, considering the ethnogenesis of the Kazakh people as sources of information and links of the Kazakhs to past inhabitants.

Archetypes are the mentality of the people, emotional and intellectual characteristics of the people that are implemented in religion, lifestyle, folklore, rituals and traditions.
