(2nd part: Indigenous peoples of Siberia in the modern world)

Definition
Today, 40 indigenous peoples are officially recognised as indigenous small-numbered peoples by way of inclusion into the unified register of indigenous small-numbered peoples (единый перечень коренных, малочисленных народов Российкой Федерации). This register includes 46 indigenous peoples (which implies being less than 2.3 million people). Six of these peoples do not live in either the Extreme North or territories equated to it, so that the total number of recognised indigenous peoples of the North is 40. In addition the Komi-Izhemtsy or Izvatas, a subgroup of the Komi peoples are currently seeking recognition as a distinct indigenous people of the North.

The Far North is the part of Russia which lies mainly beyond the Arctic Circle. However, they make up the smaller part of the actual territories inhabited by the indigenous peoples, which extend southwards as far as to Vladivostok.
