On April 30, 2026, a new national holiday is celebrated in Russia for the first time – the Day of the Indigenous Small Peoples of the Russian Federation. Since the territory of the region is the ancestral place of life of the Evens, Koryaks, Chukchi, Itelmen, Yukaghirs, as well as representatives of other indigenous peoples who have mastered the expanses of the North, preserving the unique culture, crafts and age-old wisdom of living in harmony with nature, the institution of this holiday is of particular importance.
