Abstract
This paper, based on the author’s extensive field research in Chukotka in the 1990s, examines the conditions for Indigenous activism in Chukotka during the decade following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The Indigenous movement in Chukotka faced extremely difficult conditions in the 1990s because of a concerted attack by a belligerent and chauvinistic regional administration that sought to undermine any effort on the part of Indigenous activists to mount an effective movement.
Résumé
Se fondant sur une recherche de terrain extensive menée par l’auteure dans la Tchoukotka des années 1990, cet article examine les conditions de l’activisme autochtone dans cette région de l’Extrême-Orient russe durant la décennie qui a suivi la dissolution de l’Union Soviétique. Le mouvement autochtone a fait face à une situation extrêmement difficile en Tchoukotka dans les années 1990 en raison d’une attaque concertée de la part d’une administration régionale chauvine et belliqueuse visant à saper tout effort émanant des activistes autochtones pour monter un mouvement efficace.
