Abstract Development of the traditional economy of indigenous small-numbered Northern peoples acts as the production basis for retaining the most important features of their ethnic identity.

However, at present, it has virtually no alternative. In the situation that has evolved, state financial support of the sector acts as an important element of economic and ethnic policy. In substantiating the retention of this policy and directions of its implementation, the paper analyzes the natural and economic conditions of the sector development and makes corresponding conclusions and recommendations.
