Kets
Kets are a small indigenous group primarily found in the northern regions of Russia, particularly in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. They are known for their unique language, which belongs to the Uralic language family, and their traditional lifestyle, which includes reindeer herding and fishing. The Kets have a rich cultural heritage, with practices that reflect their close relationship with nature.
Historically, the Kets have faced challenges due to external influences and modernization. Their population is small, and efforts are being made to preserve their language and traditions. Today, the Kets continue to navigate the balance between maintaining their cultural identity and adapting to contemporary society.
