🇷🇺 The Chukchi are an indigenous people of Russia, residing in the extreme northeast of the country, in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, as well as in neighboring regions of Kamchatka and Yakutia. Their history, culture, and way of life are deeply intertwined with the harsh Arctic environment, where they have adapted over millennia to extreme cold and a unique ecosystem.

📜 The Chukchi belong to the Paleo-Asiatic peoples. Their ancestors settled in Chukotka over 2,000–3,000 years ago. Historically, they were divided into two groups:
1. Tundra Chukchi (Chauchu) – nomadic reindeer herders whose lives depended on the migration of reindeer herds.
2. Coastal Chukchi (Ankalyn) – hunters of marine mammals (whales, seals, walruses), whose existence was tied to the shores of the Bering and Chukchi Seas.

In the 17th–18th centuries, the Chukchi fiercely resisted Russian Cossacks. However, they finally became part of Russia by the late 18th century while retaining their autonomy.

👻 Chukchi worldview is rooted in animism—a belief in the spiritual essence of all elements of nature.

🤝 This people highly value independence and are resilient in conflict. Yet, the Chukchi are also exceptionally hospitable and kind-hearted, always ready to help their neighbors.

🎉 Festivals are tied to seasonal cycles: autumn marks the Day of Reindeer Slaughter, spring the Day of Antlers, and winter the Sacrifice to the Star Altair. They also celebrate irregular rituals, such as Feeding the Fire, memorials for the deceased, votive offerings post-hunting, the Whale Festival, and the Kayak Festival.

📔 The Chukchi language belongs to the Chukotko-Kamchatkan family and has several dialects. Despite being endangered (spoken by only 5,000–6,000 people), preservation efforts are underway: textbooks are published, radio programs air, and schools in Chukotka teach the native language.

🦣 Chukchi mythology and folklore are rich and share similarities with other Paleo-Asiatic and Native American traditions. The Chukchi are renowned for their intricate carvings and sculptures on mammoth bones, admired for their beauty and precision.

✔️ Today, many Chukchi maintain traditional lifestyles while integrating modern technology. Reindeer herding and marine hunting remain vital, though youth increasingly migrate to cities. Chukchi culture is a focus of ethnographers and a source of pride for Russia’s Far North.
