The Yukaghir are an indigenous people of northeastern Siberia, primarily residing in the Chukotka and Sakha Republics of Russia. Their culture is deeply connected to the harsh Arctic environment, relying on traditional practices such as hunting, fishing, and gathering for sustenance. The Yukaghir have a rich oral tradition, with stories and songs that reflect their history and relationship with nature. Yukaghir society is characterized by a close-knit community structure, where cooperation and sharing are essential for survival. They traditionally lived in portable dwellings, such as chums, which are tent-like structures made from animal skins. Today, many Yukaghir people strive to preserve their cultural heritage while adapting to modern influences.
