The Indigenous minority peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East of Russia (Russian: коренные малочисленные народы Севера, Сибири и Дальнего Востока, romanized: korennye malochislennye narody Severa, Sibiri i Dal'nego Vostoka) is a Russian census classification of local Indigenous peoples, assigned to groups with fewer than 50,000 members, living in the Russian Far North, Siberia, or Russian Far East.
Today, 40 Indigenous peoples are officially recognised by Russia as Indigenous small-numbered peoples and are listed in the Unified Register of the Indigenous Small-Numbered Peoples (Единый перечень коренных, малочисленных народов Российской Федерации).
The Far North is the part of Russia which lies mainly beyond the Arctic Circle.
However, this is the smaller part of the total territories inhabited by Indigenous peoples.
