The authors of the article "The Nivkhi-Ainu's "bear's spirit-sending" ceremony (from the point of view of the comparative linguistics)" came to conclusion that religious and ceremonial life of the indigenous peoples is often thought to be the most significant indicators of cultural relationship, because they are less likely to be the results of environmental influence and casual trade. The bear-sending ceremony may provide strong evidence of close relationships between the Nivkhi and the Ainu and circumpolar people. The problem of the bear-sending practices of the Amur-Sakhalin type is still discussed by the scientists, the question is whether such ceremony belongs to the Nivkhi or the Ainu. There was a lack of attempts to compare the ceremonies of these peoples regarding the languages of both ethnic groups. This article presents such attempt to do this comparison.
