Order No. 4147-r of December 29, 2025
Improving the economic and social aspects of life, preserving ancestral territories and unique forms of traditional economic activity are reflected in the activities of the three-year plan for implementing the Concept of Sustainable Development of Indigenous Peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East. The order approving this document has been signed.
The plan includes more than 100 different events, grouped into several thematic sections.
One section is dedicated to preserving territories inhabited by indigenous peoples. This includes, among other things, annual monitoring of the environmental status of such areas. Furthermore, representatives of indigenous peoples will be involved in public hearings regarding the implementation of projects related to natural resource development.
Another form of support is the promotion of traditional crafts on domestic and international markets. This involves regional authorities in the North, Siberia, and the Far East annually presenting such products at various exhibitions and fairs.
Other areas include the creation of national tourist routes that include historical and cultural monuments located in areas populated by indigenous peoples. This, in turn, will stimulate the creation and modernization of tourism infrastructure.
An equally significant initiative will be financial support for priority areas of agriculture and reindeer herding. This support will depend on the number of applications received.
Efforts to create a comfortable and safe environment include improving the quality of communications and expanding the number of settlements connected to the internet.
A separate section of the plan is devoted to ensuring access to education. This work, in particular, involves providing schools in indigenous communities with modern equipment and textbooks in the native languages of the indigenous peoples.
Another part of the plan is the preservation of the ethnocultural heritage and traditions of the peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East. Activities in this section are aimed at preserving and promoting cultural heritage sites and intangible ethnocultural heritage (legends, songs, rituals).
The Concept for Sustainable Development of Indigenous Peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East until 2036 was approved by the Government in May 2025. It replaces the previous concept, which was implemented from 2009 to 2025.
