Sociological Analysis of the Commercial Hunting on the Lands International Journal of Criminology and Sociology, 2020, 9, 803-813 803 Sociological Analysis of the Commercial Hunting on the Lands of Small-Numbered Indigenous Peoples of the North in the Arctic Zone of the Sakha Republic Republic (Yakutia) Valery V. Velichenko1,* and Anatoly N. Sleptsov2 1Institute of Applied Ecology of the North, M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University, Yakutsk, Russia 2Faculty of Law of the North, M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University, Yakutsk, Russia Abstract: The article presents the results of the analysis of commercial hunting of the most typical communities of small indigenous peoples of the North of Russia living in the Arctic zone of Yakutia, for which hunting largely determines the life quality. For the analysis, statistical data and internal hunting materials were used with the participation of the article authors. In preparing this article, we used statistical data and materials from the Yakutia Department of Hunting Management, as well as stock materials from the Institute. We used statistical methods to process the materials. For the first time, the materials of the intra-economic hunting arrangement conducted in the areas assigned to small peoples are analyzed. For the first time, the article provides data on the history of establishing hunting grounds in Yakutia as part of all-Russian activities. The article provides the results of foreign researchers' studies dedicated to the issue of framing and maintaining the traditional lifestyle of indigenous peoples of the North. Based on the analysis of the structure of commercial production, it is demonstrated that hunting trends are adapted to the extreme weather and climatic conditions of the Arctic and defined by the wildlife species that inhabit these regions. Backed by retrospective analyses, considerable changes in the structure of commercial production are illustrated. These are linked to the decrease in numbers of one of the populations of wild reindeer and the decreasing demand for natural fur, factors that have reduced the importance of traditional hunting in the lives of the region’s ethnic groups. It is revealed that the forecast of large- scale development of mineral resources in the Arctic regions of Yakutia demands that preventive measures be taken to protect natural resources that are the foundation for the traditional crafts of the indigenous peoples of the North. Keywords: The Arctic, indigenous peoples of the North, tribal communities, hunting grounds, traditional crafts. INTRODUCTION forest-tundra, and forest areas (subarea of northern larch sparce (sparse) forest) (Figure 1). The object of the research, presented in the current article, is the hunting grounds that are secured on the For small-numbered indigenous peoples of the communities of small-numbered indigenous peoples of North and other individuals, constantly living in the Northern Russia to conduct traditional crafts in the places of traditional habitat and economic activities of Arctic zone of the Yakutia. the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), hunting has been one of the main sources of employment and life support for According to the decrees by the President of the many decades.

In particular, changes to local and global climate parameters influence vector and water-borne diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and tick-borne encephalitis. The Republic of Sakha in northern Russia is no exception. Long-term trends of increasing annual temperatures and thawing permafrost have corresponded with the northward range expansion of tick-species in the Republic. Indigenous communities living in these remote areas may be severely affected by human and livestock diseases introduced by disease vectors like ticks.

  • Survival of Indicator Species of the Mammoth Fauna Large Mammals in the Holocene of Yakutia (East Siberia, Russia)
    The 5th International Conference “Ecosystem dynamics in the Holocene” IOP Publishing IOP Conf. Series: Earth and Environmental Science 438 (2020) 012004 doi:10.1088/1755-1315/438/1/012004 Survival of indicator species of the mammoth fauna large mammals in the Holocene of Yakutia (East Siberia, Russia) G G Boeskorov Diamond and Precious Metals Geology Institute, SB RAS, Yakutsk, Russia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Global climate change at the end of the Pleistocene led to extinction across the huge territories of the Northern Hemisphere of indicator species of large mammals of the mammoth fauna. Undoubtedly, in some more densely populated regions, the mammoth fauna underwent pressure from Upper Paleolithic humans hunting activity. Previously it was thought that the megafauna of the “Mammoth complex” had become extinct in the territory of Yakutia by the beginning of the Holocene. However, the latest data indicate that extinction of the mammoth fauna was significantly delayed in the north of Eastern Siberia. Radiocarbon data show that wild horses inhabited the north of Yakutia during 5300–2200 cal yr BP. Musk oxen lived here about 3400 – 2600 cal yr BP. Some bison remains from Yakutia belong to the early Holocene. The following circumstances could have facilitated the survival of representatives of the mammoth fauna in Yakutia. The cool, dry climate in this region is favorable to steppe associations, the habitats of these mammals. The small number of Stone Age hunting tribes in the northern part of Yakutia was probably another factor that contributed to the survival of some mammoth fauna representatives. 1. Introduction It is well known that global climate change at the end of the Pleistocene led to the extinction across the huge territories of the Northern Hemisphere of indicator (or typical) species of the mammoth fauna.

    Trace elements and stable isotope diagrams of Late Pleistocene ice wedges of Batagaika yedoma, Central Yakutia Yu.K.Vasil'chuk1 J.Yu.Vasil'chuk1 N. A. Budantseva1 A.C. Vasil'chuk1 1Department of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The subject of the study is the yedoma ice complex, which locates in the Batagaika depression, Sakha Republic, Russia. The oxygen and hydrogen stable isotope composition, and the content of the dissolved forms of minor and major elements were studied for the first time in ice-wedges of Batagaika depression, which makes the novelty of the study. The isotope composition of the two most saline ice-wedges located in the upper and lower parts of the Batagay depression indicates that they were formed in a close temperature range, the average winter temperature was close to –34/–35 °C, and the average January air temperature was –51/ –53 °C. The ice-wedge with the lowest content of all the trace elements was formed in more severe conditions, the average winter air temperature was close to -36 °C, and the average January air temperature was –54/–55 °C. Keywords: permafrost; ice wedge; oxygen isotope; hydrogen isotope; trace elements; East Siberia, Late Pleistocene The subject of the study is the yedoma, which is found lacustrine or taberal deposits, which are form horizontal in the Batagaika depression (67°34'49" N, 134°46'19" E), wedge 150-200 meters long and intruding into the located 10 km southeast of Batagai settlement (about 17 yedoma deposits and overlaying it.

  • Tundra Yukagir (TY) Is Spoken in the Northeast of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia, Russian Federation), Between the Lower Indigirka and the Lower Kolyma
    VOICES FROM TUNDRA AND TAIGA TTUUNNDDRRAA YYUUKKAAGGIIRR a nearly extinct Paleo-Asian Isolate in Arctic Russia: a Collection on CD/DVD of Linguistic and Folkloristic Materials of the Language and Culture of a Siberian People for Documentation, Education and Safeguarding for Posterity Cecilia Odé Mark Schmalz Kees Hengeveld Research project March 2009 - March 2012 University of Amsterdam financially supported by Background Tundra Yukagir (TY) is spoken in the northeast of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia, Russian Federation), between the lower Indigirka and the lower Kolyma. The population is approximately 700, but at present the number of good speakers is dramatically low with some 50 people still speaking their mother tongue properly. Most TY speakers are fluent in Russian and Yakut, and in at least one of the indigenous languages of the area: Chukchi, Evenki and Even. In the village of Andryushkino where most TY live, the language is hardly spoken anymore, and TY parents and language teachers blame themselves for not passing TY on to their children. In school children learn their native language and about the indigenous cultures of local peoples. Folkloristic festivals are frequently held in which villagers, young and old, participate. The general attitude is positive towards language revival. Language context The Tundra Yukagir language belongs to the group of Paleo-Asian languages (Nikolaeva & Khelimsky, 1997). Two Yukagir languages exist, southern (Kolyma) and northern (Tundra) Yukagir, that are not mutually intelligible, and probably form an isolated language family. The only available, but incomplete TY grammars are Kreinovich (1958, 1982) and Kurilov (2006), and a sketch with texts by Maslova (2003); a collection of texts with glosses and English translation is Maslova (2001).

  • Fur Animal Hunting of the Indigenous People in the Russian Far East: History, Technology, and Economic Effects
    FUR ANIMAL HUNTING OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST: HISTORY, TECHNOLOGY, AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS Shirou Sasaki 1 1. Who are the Indigenous People of the Russian Far East? A general definition of “indigenous people” does not exist. Therefore, I focused on “the indigenous people of Far East Russia” in this report. “Far East Russia” is defined by the administration of the present Russian Federation as the region consisting of the Republic of Sakha, Amur region, Magadan region, Kamchatka region, Sakahlin region, Chukchi autonomous district, Koryak autonomous district, Khabarovsk region, and the Primor’e region. “The indigenous people” in these regions are the inhabitants who have lived there since before the 17th century when the Russians invaded Siberia and the Far East. When referring to the Primor’e and Sakhalin regions and the southern part of the Khabarovsk region, we are speaking of the inhabitants who have lived there since before the Beijing Treaty of 1860. Their descendants are divided into the administrative categories of Natsiya and Narodnost’. The authorized Natsiya and Narodnost’ are Yakut (Sakha), Dolgan, Evenki, Even, Chukchi, Koryak, Itel'men, Yukagir, Nivkh, Nanai, Ul'chi, Orochi, Udehe, Orok (Uilta). Interestingly, most of them speak Russian as their mother tongue, even the people who are authorized as Narodnost’ on their family registration. Mixed marriages among them or with Russians has prevented the preservation of their unique genetic heritage. Because it is very difficult to describe the many kinds of people living in such a vast area at once, I will first introduce the ancestors of the Udehe and the Nanai who live the closest to Japan.

    Discovering the breeding grounds of Ross’s Gull: 100 years on Henry A. McGhie and V. Dmitri Logunov 366. Ross’s Gull Rhodostethia rosea, near the Indigirka River, Northeast Siberia, June 1999. Chris Schenk ABSTRACT June 2005 marked the centenary of one of the most notable events of twentieth-century ornithology: the discovery of the breeding grounds of Ross’s Gull Rhodostethia rosea, in northeast Siberia, by Russian ornithologist Sergei Buturlin. News of the discovery was announced in Britain to a meeting of the British Ornithologists’ Club on 13th December 1905 by Henry Dresser, Buturlin’s long-term correspondent.This article provides details on Buturlin’s famous discovery and investigates the relationship between Buturlin and Dresser. Previously unpublished photographs of Buturlin and his expedition are presented, together with new information extracted from correspondence between Dresser and Buturlin that is preserved at the Museum of Local Lore, History and Economy in Ulyanovsk, Russia, which houses the largest surviving archive on Buturlin. © British Birds 98 • November 2005 • 589-599 589 Discovering the breeding grounds of Ross’s Gull oss’s Gull Rhodostethia rosea is surely coast of southern Greenland.
