Nanais are a group of indigenous people primarily found in the Siberian region of Russia. They are known for their unique culture, language, and traditional practices, which are closely tied to the natural environment. The Nanai people traditionally engage in fishing, hunting, and gathering, relying on the Amur River and surrounding forests for their livelihood. The Nanai language belongs to the Tungusic language family and is spoken by a small number of people today. Efforts are being made to preserve their language and cultural heritage, as modernization and external influences pose challenges to their traditional way of life.
