		Given that the population of Evenks in the three northern regions of Chita Oblast ranges from 1-15% of the total population, and a significant percentage of the non-indigenous population is involved in mining, Evenks feel little optimism over TTPs protecting their traditional activities until a federal law clarifies land alienation procedures in TTPs.
