Kasyanov promised to strengthen the indigenous peoples-oriented bloc in his government. On the one hand, taking into account the international significance of the problems connected with the state of indigenous peoples of Russia’s North, international recognition of RAIPON’s prestige and the stir among the public in the world caused by events involving indigenous peoples, the government of RF has expressed its readiness to enter into cooperation agreements with RAIPON. The many-sided activities of RAIPON have been focused, as ever, on creating the conditions for the development of indigenous peoples, and rendering assistance within its powers to all their undertakings.Īt the same time, the direction of actions taken by the supreme state bodies with respect to indigenous peoples has remained unclear to us. You can read about all of that in this issue. RAIPON, hand in hand with the Association ‘ Yamal To Its Descendants!’, has organized and conducted the first socio-cultural impact assessment of a project envisaging industrial development of natural resources with an impact on the environment of Yamal’s indigenous peoples. The flood of events affecting the fate of indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East has been so diverse and plentiful since the beginning of this year that we have been forced to publish the current issue of our journal combining the resources of two regular issues.ĭuring the past four months the Association has convened several representative forums, workshops, and training courses on the problems of indigenous peoples answers have been received and given to dozens of letters from regions some of these letters have formed the basis for preparing and sending the Association’s appeals to the supreme state bodies of the Russian Federation.
