Focusing on the Indigenous peoples of Kamchatka, this volume brings together decades of field research by anthropologists from around the world, including Indigenous Kamchatkan scholars. It examines the lives of Itelmens, Koryaks, Chukchis, Alutors, and Ainus through topics including relationships to the landscape and mapmaking, storytelling, fishing and making a living, social and political life, rituals and personhood, and histories of cultural exchange, trade, and migration. It addresses Kamchatka's distinct history of settler-colonial occupation and its contemporary legacies. Offering a broad anthropological perspective on this diverse region of Russia, the collection also speaks to scholars of folklore, religion, geography, and related disciplines.
