Abstract Industrial development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, climate change, modification of the regulatory and legal framework, large-scale economic transformations taking place both in Russia and around the world have led to serious changes in the traditional economy and traditional way of life of the indigenous peoples of the North. A whole complex of interconnected problems and contradictions has arisen. They require serious study, analysis and development of measures to resolve them. In this work, an attempt is made to identify from the arrays of scientific literature, further generalize and formalize the key problems (challenges) of the indigenous peoples of the North, localized on the land territory of the Russian Arctic. The key challenges of indigenous peoples living in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District are formulated. The identity of the problems of indigenous peoples was revealed throughout the territory of the Russian Arctic, which indicates their extra-regional nature. Explanations on the mechanisms of the interdetermination of key problems and the formation of cause-effect relationships in the environment of indigenous peoples are given. Based on the results obtained, nodes and development trends of indigenous peoples that allow predicting the further development of events are formulated.
