The Institute of the Peoples of the North (IPN)
The Institute of the Peoples of the North is a unique subdivision within the structure of RSPU. For over 80 years the Institute has been offering education to the small-numbered indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East from more that 20 regions of the Russian Federation

Indigenous Students from 20 Siberian rejoins
Study of Indigenous Cultures
Native languages and ethnic heritage are in the focus of the dictionaries and
textbooks written by the Institute’s teaching staff
Field research Laptev Sea (Yakutia)
INP’s research relevant to ice environment
*Traditional knowlege on ice environment
*Ice and snow terminology
*Mythology on origin of cold, ice and snow
The project
Climate change, vulnerability and adaptation among Nenets reindeer herders
Some findings
Lately this ice discontinue remaining non-melted during the entire year
Yamal, Gyda village
In recent springs, river blocks of ice started floating right accross the
village Antipayuta streets
Early ice drift and late freezing of rivers break the stable rhythm of indigenous
economy
E.g., the herders are blocked from their next season equipment storage
Early melting ice on lakes and melting permafrost under the shallow swamps makes some reindeer routes impassable
Unseasonable water
crossing results in
loosing calves
Because of early ice melting the herd has to be moved to the
summer pastures earlier, which results in loosing too young calves
Not only climate warming, but also weather instability and abruptness and
phenological shifts contribute to both pasture overgrazing and the loss of
new-born calves
The fundamental goal of INP’s research is studying the ways of preserving unique
indigenous cultures in the changing environment
Thank you for your attention!
