Siberian Tatars
The Siberian Tatars are a Turkic ethnic group primarily found in the regions of Siberia, particularly in the Republic of Tatarstan and surrounding areas. They are descendants of the historical Volga Bulgars and the Golden Horde, and their culture is influenced by both Turkic and Russian traditions. The Siberian Tatars speak the Tatar language, which belongs to the Kipchak branch of the Turkic languages.
Traditionally, Siberian Tatars engaged in agriculture, hunting, and fishing, adapting to the diverse environments of Siberia. Today, they maintain their cultural heritage through festivals, music, and crafts, while also participating in modern society. The community is recognized for its rich history and contributions to the cultural tapestry of Russia.
