Regions related to the Far North: terrain features

The unique Far North is one of the few territories of the whole world where "wild" natural landscapes with their enormous biological diversity for the northern latitudes are still preserved in vast areas. Therefore, one of the priority areas of Russia's environmental policy is the preservation of the unusual virgin nature of the Arctic and the North.

The peculiarity of these places is that the main feeding and labor force are deer. Life without them in the tundra is unthinkable. Local residents are engaged in hunting, reindeer herding, fishing.

There are also small ethnic groups, numbering about 50 thousand people. The list of regions equated to the regions of the Far North is large. It covers the settlements of most of the territory of the north of Russia. In addition to the indigenous population, people of different nationalities live and work here.

Indigenous people

The endless expanses of the tundra are inhabited by the most enduring and strong peoples of the North. The Chukchi, the Eskimos, the Koryaks, the Aleuts, the Nenets, the Evenki, the Sami, the Nganasans have been living and working here for a long time. There are no more than 300,000 people left.

On the peninsula of Alaska along the Yukon River , Eskimos live. Previously, they lived in warmer southern latitudes, but were gradually ousted by the Indian tribes to the very edge of the Earth.

In the Russian tundra, the Nenets, Chukchi, Saami, Eskimos, Nanais, Koryaks, Evenks and other small peoples live, trying to preserve their traditional crafts and facilities. Most of them lead a nomadic and semi-nomadic way of life.

Features of local residents

The Chukchi belong to the race of the Mongols (the Arctic variety). Their native language is Chukchi. It is gradually lost, being replaced by Russians. The experience of their ancestors taught these people to make comfortable items for life - yarangi (clothes suitable for sleeping right on the snow) and torbasy boots (light and very warm from the kamus). The same ancestors taught the Chukchi not to wash. For what? In these areas, there are many ultraviolet rays, and a layer of fat on the skin helps protect the face from dangerous burns, so they rarely wash. The life of these people does not seem without deer. They are their food, home, clothing, vehicle.

The traditional dwelling of the indigenous inhabitants of the most northerly regions of Russia is the plague, built of reindeer skins. The Eskimos also have a dwelling of snow - an igloo.
