The Yukaghir are an indigenous people of northeastern Siberia, primarily found in the Chukotka region of Russia. They have a rich cultural heritage, traditionally relying on hunting, fishing, and gathering for their livelihood. The Yukaghir language, which belongs to the Paleo-Siberian language family, is unique and has several dialects, although it is now endangered due to the influence of Russian. Historically, the Yukaghir were known for their nomadic lifestyle, moving with the seasons to follow animal migrations. Today, many Yukaghir people strive to preserve their traditions while adapting to modern life. Their connection to the land and nature remains a vital part of their identity.
