Notes
1. Genre-defined as a shadow report ‘The Contemporary Condition and Prospects of small-numbered peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East’ (2003) paved the way for the series. In its wake Lennard Sillanpää in collaboration with IEA RAS faculty members produced ‘Awakening Siberia’ (2008). An immediate forerunner of ‘Culture and Resources’ is the collective monograph ‘The North and the Northerners’ (2012).
2. Or KMNS (рус. КМНС) – an abbreviation for ‘Small-numbered indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East’ (рус. Коренные малочисленные народы Севера, Сибири и Дальнего Востока) – a legally framed status.
3. A loose translation from Russian ‘Ethnologicheskoie issledovaniie KMNS Sakhalinskoi oblasti’ (рус. Этнологическое исследование КМНС Сахалинской области).
