Siberian indigenous peoples

Siberian indigenous peoples are the original inhabitants of Siberia, a vast region in Russia known for its extreme climate and wilderness. They include diverse groups such as the Yakuts, Evenks, Nenets, and Chukchi, each with unique languages, cultural traditions, and ways of life. Many traditionally rely on hunting, fishing, herding, and gathering to survive in harsh environments. Despite modern influences and pressures, they maintain their cultural identities, languages, and practices, often living in remote areas. Their history and knowledge are crucial for understanding Siberia's ecological and cultural landscape.
