ABSTRACT

This thesis analyzed the characteristics and main functions of the traditional use of nature (TUN) of the indigenous peoples of the Russian North, which is the most core content of the Concept of sustainable development of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation (2009). This paper analyzed the legal, historical, administrative, and socio- demographic peculiarities of ‘traditional natural use’ of the indigenous peoples of the Russian North, and identified its major forms and characteristics. The indigenous peoples, forming an important part of Russia’s Arctic Circle or Northern Territory, have lived and continue to do so by the prudent use of biological resources and the restricted development. This is the core of ‘sustainable development’. The indigenous peoples’ accumulated traditional knowledge of nature is also represented by their worship and rituals. These traditional knowledges are the basis for ecological knowledge of their territories and traditional economic activities. ‘Territory of Traditional Use of Nature’ (TTUN) is a major tool for maintaining and conserving the way of life and livelihoods of indigenous peoples. In this respect, it was designed to protect the traditional habitats of the indigenous peoples and to preserve their traditional way of life. This makes it possible to build a ‘sustainable development’ model based on a variety of cultural contexts, as opposed to a Western model with ‘development’ priority. However, this model is also threatened by the profit competition and development model. Thereafter, the indigenous peoples who make a living through traditional use of nature (TUN) are also threatened.
