A section on the Nenets people added to the interactive atlas of indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North

The new section includes data on the history and way of life of the Nenets people, their spiritual and material culture, and names of their most famous representatives and explorers, according to the Yamal-Nenets Department of the Indigenous Small-Numbered Peoples of the North.

The digital project offers systematized information on the historical and cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of 40 indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East. In addition, the section includes an interactive map indicating the areas of their traditional settlement.

The large-scale digital project has been developed with the support from the Russian Ministry of Science and Education. The leading universities, the Russian Associations of Indigenous Small-Numbered Peoples of the North, of the Far East and regional communities of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North took part in making the atlas.
