Indigenous Peoples of Siberia

Indigenous Peoples of Siberia are various ethnic groups native to the region, with distinct languages, cultures, and traditions that have developed over thousands of years in harsh, remote environments. Examples include the Evenks, Sami, and Nenets. They traditionally rely on hunting, fishing, reindeer herding, and gathering, maintaining deep spiritual and cultural ties to their land. Despite facing challenges such as climate change, modernization, and geopolitical pressures, these communities work to preserve their unique identities, ancestral knowledge, and languages, contributing richly to Siberia's diverse cultural landscape.
