Institute for Humanitarian Research and North Indigenous Peoples Problems

The Institute for Humanitarian Research and North Indigenous Peoples Problems conducts scientific research on Arctic populations from its headquarters in eastern Siberia.

The institute initiated operations on September 17, 1935, marking a new era of systematic research into northern indigenous communities under Soviet administration.

Researchers at the institute document languages, traditions, and social systems of various indigenous groups across northern Russia through fieldwork and community engagement.

The facility maintains extensive archives of indigenous cultural materials and provides resources for scholars studying Arctic populations through its specialized library.

Scientists at the institute combine anthropological methods with indigenous knowledge to address contemporary challenges facing northern communities in rapidly changing environments.
