	Footprints In The Snow - History of the Siberian breed
		Developed and raised as a working dog that possessed certain attributes and desired instinctive qualities, the Chukchi people used their dogs to pull laden sleds which carried the successful rewards of seal hunts inland to the Chukchi villages of the harsh and forbidding Arctic coast.
		However, the advantage the Chukchi had over the Cossacks was that they knew the terrain, how to survive in the harsh environment and could move quickly form place to place because of their sled dogs.
		Since the Chukchi highly valued their dogs and used them as a measure of wealth and position of leadership, they were stripped them of their status and were either imprisoned or executed by the Red Army.

	15. A Dream of Democracy in the Russian Far East: International Development Research Centre
		As Chukchi women and men are well aware, the logics of this system have not been abandoned but live on: in the creation of new political vocabularies and legal language, rhetorics of patronage masquerading as kindness, dependencies disguised as guardianship and care through which the spectre not of communism but of democratization rises.
		The dream is part of the Chukchi refusal to be crushed by the exercise of daily patronage; it is part of the endeavour, in however exceptional a form, to work towards autonomy and independence.
		Chukchi pointed this out to me upon my arrival in summer 2000 in Anadyr´, when the local government refused me permission to leave the airport (the airport is separated from the land by the ocean) and set foot in the region.

	Two-Spirit Native People - Inner Work With Paul Chirumbolo
		In the historic pattern of these people, 182 of the native tribes spread throughout the whole of North America recognized the Two-Spirit individual, and in at least 168 of their languages still spoken in the United States today the terms for Two-Spirit people continue to be found.
		Shamans are not always Two-Spirit people, and the distinction between the two can be carried further to one of a powerful wizard capable of calling in the energy of all things to that of a more priestly role as a mediator, leader of the rituals, or speaker of truths.
		Roused from the depths of their myths, visions and dreams, the social function of the Two-Spirit native people was thus to not only serve as a mediator between the sexes, but to walk in both worlds as a bridge between man and the powers that lay behind the veil of the otherwise ordinary life.

	Siberian Husky at Mikayla Siberian Huskies Kennel - Description
		Some people feel that this periodic problem is easier to cope with than the constant shedding and renewal of many smooth-coated breeds.
		This gentle and friendly disposition may be a heritage from the past, since the Chukchi people held their dogs in great esteem, housed them in the family shelters, and encouraged their children to play with them.
		This trait may be traced to the origins of the breed, as the Chukchis developed their dogs to pull a light load at a fast pace over great distances in low temperatures on the smallest possible intake of food.

		Perhaps, that's why the Chukchis and Koryaks might have called the Itelmens kamchadals, because in both languages the word "kamcha" means "curly", "disheveled", and "levit" or "lyavit" means "head".

		While the Siberian is normally gentle and friendly with people and other dogs, owners MUST be aware that small animals in and aound the home, such as squirrels, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, and CATS, are potential victims of their strong predatory instinct.
