Summary: | The article reveals the situation of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North of the Russian Federation; it draws attention to the unresolved issues of the collective rights of the indigenous peoples, legal aspects of their ethnicity, public health, and reindeer husbandry, industrial development of the territories, education and language. The author has noted activities of the Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East. In conclusion, the author states that despite the existing shortcomings because of the self-sufficient public-state and ethnic policy, in the Russian Arctic, there is an ongoing system of ensuring rights of indigenous small-numbered peoples, their traditional way of life and economic activities. |
