The Nivkh (also Nivkhs, Nivkhi, or Gilyak; ethnonym: Nivxi; language, нивхгу - Nivxgu) are an indigenous ethnic group inhabiting the northern half of Sakhalin Island and the region of the Amur River estuary in Russia's Khabarovsk Krai. Nivkh were traditionally fishermen, hunters, and dog breeders. They were semi-nomadic, living near the coasts in the summer and wintering inland along streams and rivers to catch salmon. The land the Nivkh inhabit is characterized as taiga forest with cold snow-laden winters and mild summers with sparse tree cover. The Nivkh are believed to be the original inhabitants of the region deriving from a proposed Neolithic people migrating from the Transbaikal region during the Late Pleistocene.
The Nivkh suffered heavily from foreign influences, the first of which was the migration of the Tungusic peoples. Later, the Qing Dynasty of China forced the Nivkh to pay tribute to them. In 1850s–1860s, Russian Cossacks annexed and colonized Nivkh lands, where they are a small, often neglected, minority today. Today, the Nivkh live in Russian-style housing and with the over-fishing and pollution of the streams and seas, they have adopted many foods from Russian cuisine. The Nivkh practice shamanism, which is important for the winter Bear festival, though some have converted to Russian Orthodoxy.

The Nivkh are the indigenous people of Sakhalin Island in the Russian North. Since their lands were discovered by explorers from the mainland, they have undergone assimilation by the Japanese and persecution by the Soviet government. They were banned from practising their culture and their language was largely forgotten. Since the Nivkh language didn’t have a written form, it was an almost impossible task to preserve it in the reality faced by the Nivkh after being discovered by the outside world. Many Nivkh legends, beliefs and traditions were lost. However, current Nivkh chieftain, Vladimir Sangi, believes it is possible to restore the Nivkh language and culture. He co-authored the alphabet of the Nivkh language which has hugely contributed to its preservation. Still, there is a long wa...

Нивхи - малочисленный народ, проживающий в Хабаровском крае и на Сахалине. Численность - менее 5 тысяч человек. Сегодня мы поговорим о нивхах, которые проживают на Сахалине, и покажем в студии уникальные фрагменты киносъемки. Нивхи являются прямыми потомками древнейшего населения этой территории, их считают звеньями одной этнической цепи с эскимосами и индейцами. Самоназвание нивхов означает - "человек", "люди". Как им сегодня удается сохранять свою культуру и свои традиционные обряды? Ведущий программы "Россия, любовь моя!"

Doctor Shiraishi is specialised in the indigenous languages of the Russian island of Sakhalin. The indigenous people of Sakhalin are the Nivkh, the Uilta (Orok), and the Ainu. Sorry about the poor quality of this video.
Nivkhs are the natives of Sakhalin island in the Russian Far East, Siberian abrogenes. Nivkh language is unique and doesnt belong to any known family. Nivkh are of very short statue (men 160 cm) and unlike mongoloids they are relatively dark skinned. Nivkh beliefs are similiar to those of Ainu (cult of bear). Нівхи - аборигени острова Сахалін. Нівхська мова є унікальною, без подібних на неї. Нівхи - найдревніше населення далекого Сходу (палео-азіати). Нівхи - малого росту (мужчини - 160 см) і на відміну від монголоїдів, нівхи відносно темношкірі. На землі залишилося всього бл. 5000 нівхів і лише бл. 300 носіїв нівхської мови. Nivkh does not appear to be related to any other language, making it a language isolate. For classification convenience, it is included in the group of Paleosiberia...
Sakhalin (Russian: Сахалин, pronounced [səxɐˈlʲin]) is a large Russian island in the North Pacific Ocean, lying between 45°50' and 54°24' N. It is Russia's largest island, and is administered as part of Sakhalin Oblast. Sakhalin, which is about one fifth the size of Japan, is just off the east coast of Russia, and just north of Japan. The indigenous peoples of the island are the Ainu, Oroks and Nivkhs. Sakhalin has been claimed by both Russia and Japan over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries. This has led to bitter disputes between the two countries over control of the island. Russia seized the island from the Japanese near the end of World War II. Most Ainu moved to Hokkaidō when the Japanese were displaced from the island in 1949. This video is targeted to blind users. Attribut...

For decades, Sweden has offered a safe haven to people who have fled from military conflict but as the current refugee crisis hits an unprecedented scale, the question arises, how much longer can the country continue to offer hospitality? Sweden is currently experiencing an ever deepening housing crisis. It is believed that to accommodate everyone in need of a place to live by 2020, the country would need to build the equivalent of “another Stockholm”. For now, refugees from Syria, other Middle Eastern countries and Africa are being housed temporarily in tents, on boats and even in a Wild West amusement park. RT Doc’s correspondent, Marina Kosareva visits the High Chaparral theme park. Every summer it welcomes thousands of tourists but during the winter off-season, it is being used to pro...

Indigenous people in this article refers to those groups specially protected in specified international or national legislation as having a set of specific rights based on their historical ties to a particular territory, and their cultural or historical distinctiveness from other populations. This legislation is based on the conclusion that certain indigenous people are vulnerable to exploitation, marginalization and oppression by nation states formed from colonising populations or by politically dominant, different ethnic groups. A special set of political rights in accordance with international law have been set forth by international organizations such as the United Nations, the International Labour Organization and the World Bank. The United Nations has issued a Declaration on the Righ...
