The Nivkh culture is indigenous to the Northeast Asia region, primarily found on the Sakhalin Island and the Amur River in Russia. The Nivkh people traditionally relied on fishing, hunting, and gathering for their sustenance, with a strong emphasis on the natural environment. Their unique language, also called Nivkh, is part of the language isolate family, meaning it has no known relatives. Nivkh culture is rich in oral traditions, including myths and legends that reflect their connection to nature. They celebrate various festivals, often linked to seasonal changes and hunting cycles. Traditional crafts, such as fishing nets and clothing made from animal skins, showcase their skills and resourcefulness, preserving their heritage through generations.
