 Chukchi people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The majority of Chukchi reside within Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, but some also reside in the neighboring Sakha Republic to the west, Magadan Oblast to the southwest, and Koryak Autonomous Okrug to the south.
The Chukchi are traditionally divided into the Maritime Chukchi, who had settled homes on the coast and lived primarily from sea mammal hunting, and the Reindeer Chukchi, who nomadised in the inland tundra region with their herds of reindeer.
This process was ultimately destructive to the village-based economy in Chukotka, and the region has still not fully recovered.

One of the more bizarre Soviet attempts at national engineering, the Jewish Autonomous Region was established in 1934 as the national homeland of all Jews.
Tiger occurs in the J.A.R. coat-of-arms (as well as on the symbols of the Maritime Region) simply because this animal is living in these areas (Panthera tigris altaica) — and probably it is the most spectacular creature in Birobijan.
