Abstract Astride the Polish-Bielorussian border, wooden mosques overhang two small Tatar villages. Built by Muslim Tatars who settled in the region at the end of the 17th century, their origins are older and come from Poland invasion by Gengis Khan's hordes in 1241. Even if the contemporary Tatars have been assimilated into the Polish population, under the Iman's leadership, they still try to preserve some of their traditions such as baptism, marriage, burial rituals and traditional Mongol Holidays.
