Abstract. The article presents the analysis of the plot of the Even nimkan "Cuckoo" ("Kekuchen"). As a result, the author identifies the motive "Unrecognized shaman" known among some peoples of Siberia, North-East Asia and the Far East for the first time. There is a reason to believe that the motive "Unrecognized shaman" was borrowed by the Evens from the Turkic people living within the territory of their settlement.
Key words and phrases: эвены, эвенский нимкан, эвенский фольклор, сказочный фольклор, жанр, традиционный фольклор, сюжет, the Evens, the Even nimkan, the Even folklore, fairy folklore, genre, traditional folklore, plot
