Ket River, also known as the Big Ket River in its upper reaches (Кеть, Большая Кеть in Russian) is a river in the Krasnoyarsk Krai and Tomsk Oblast in Russia, a right tributary of the Ob River.
The length of the Ket River is 1621 km.
A tributary (or affluent or confluent) is a contributory stream, a river that does not reach the sea, but joins another major river (a parent river), to which it contributes its waters, swelling its discharge.

 The Norfolk Rising 1549
Ket, anxious to unite citizens and peasants in a common cause, willingly avoided altercation, and Cod, alarmed at the rising, and unable to dissuade the insurgents from their enterprise, was careful to refrain from all hostile demonstrations.
The chief requests were for the stoppage of enclosures, the enactment of fair rents, the restoration of common fishing rights in sea and river, the appointment of resident clergymen in every parish to preach and instruct the children, and the free election or official appointment of local "commissioners" for the enforcement of the laws.
The property of the Kets was duly taken by the servants of the crown, and the bodies of the rebel leaders swung in the wind—to remind unthinking men of the reward of rebellion, of the fate of all who challenge, without success, the arms of government.

 Santos et al., Y Chromosome and Native American Origins
In this study, the Y chromosomes of five linguistically distinct Siberian populations, as well as of those of Native Americans, Europeans, Indians, Mongolians, central East Asians, and Africans, were analyzed with a set of seven polymorphic systems identifying 30 variable loci in the nonrecombining portion of the Y chromosome.
It was particularly frequent in a sample of the rapidly disappearing Ket population (70%) and also was found in some Altaians (17.4%) and a single Mongolian.
In addition, these data identify the group of Ket and Altaian Y chromosomes that are related to those among Native Americans and Caucasoids, whereas the Evenki Y chromosomes are related to those of Mongolians.
