The article presents a study of values of the Sakha people (Yakuts) in the contemporary state of the ethnicity. While the core of ethnic values is still sacrosanct, they are not immune from intercultural and intracultural variation, and eventually can be reshaped into new hierarchic structures according to a shift in functional and conceptual bearing.

In the last 25 years, there was a marked rise in ethnocultural identity of the peoples of Yakutia. Values shared by these peoples, which we understand as an integration of the values of northern solidarity, consonance with nature, taking care of children and elderly, diligence and respect for variety of cultures and languages, are now interacting with new trends of innovative development of Yakutia.
