Ostyak

Ostyak (Russian: Остя́к) is a name formerly used to refer to several Indigenous peoples and languages in Siberia, Russia.

[1] As of 2002[update] some 28,000 people identify as Khanty, primarily in Tyumen Oblast, which includes the Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug.

[3] The Kets historically lived near the Yenisei River in the Krasnoyarsk Krai district of Russia.

They are descended from both Yeniseian and Samoyedic peoples, and live in the northern parts of the Siberian plain.
