Written oral history: Dimensions of identity of Chukotka’s indigenous people in the works of Rytkheu

The study seeks to provide new interpretations of identity in Chukotka, the northeastern extremity of Asia, of the 1930s and 1940s and to contribute to the identity debate in indigenous studies. In the article identity is understood as a multidimensional whole, with the discussed dimensions being based on ethnicity, nationality, occupation and place of residence. The article pre-eminently addresses the identity of the coastal sea-mammal hunters of Chukotka.

Wetterich, S., Schirrmeister, L., Meyer, H., Viehberg, F.A. & Mackensen, A., 2008. Arctic freshwater ostracods from modern periglacial environments in the Lena River Delta (Siberian Arctic, Russia): geochemical applications for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. Journal of Paleolimnology 39, 427-449. DOI:10.1007/s10933-007-9122-1

A special focus is on the element ratios (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca), and the stable isotope composition (d18O, d13C), in both ambient waters and ostracod calcite. The most common species are Fabaeformiscandona pedata and F. harmsworthi with the highest frequency in all studied waters. Average partition coefficients D(Sr) of F. pedata are 0.33 ± 0.06 (1r) in females, and 0.32 ± 0.06 (1r) in males. A near 1:1 relationship of d18O was found, with a mean shift of D mean=2.2%±0.5 (1r) to heavier values in ostracod calcite of F. pedata as compared to ambient waters. The shift is not dependent on d18O water, and is caused by metabolic (vital) and temperature effects. Temperature-dependence is reflected in the variations of this shift. For ostracod calcite of F. pedata a vital effect as compared to inorganic calcite in equilibrium was quantified with 1.4%. Results of this study are valuable for the
palaeoenvironmental interpretation of geochemical data of fossil ostracods from permafrost deposits.

Mapping indigenous Siberia: Spatial changes and ethnic realities, 1900–2010

by Ivan Sablin

co-authored with Maria Savelyeva, published in Settler Colonial Studies, vol. 1, no. 1, 2011, pp. 77–110.

A Geographic Information System (GIS) was developed to model and observe these changes. The GIS also features resource-oriented economic activities, major waterways and railroads. Analysis of the model, textual sources and statistical data made it possible to determine what factors constituted Siberia’s ethnographical pattern of the early twentieth century and led to its changes in the ensuing decades and what impact on the indigenous peoples these changes had. Four special maps showing Siberia in the 1900s–10s, 1930s–40s, 1970s–80s and 2000s–10s were produced from the GIS and are included in the article. The current legal status of the indigenous peoples’ territories was also examined. This article presents an interdisciplinary macroscale case study.

The Dissolution of the Buryat Autonomous Okrugs in Siberia: Notes from the Field

The two sections discuss the dissolution decisions as observed by the authors in the course of fieldwork, in Pribaikal’e (Cisbaikal) by Joseph Long and in Zabaikal’e (Transbaikal) by Kathryn Graber. Some joint reflections on these events are given at the end.
