	Koryak Historical Notes
		Koryaks are an indigenous north-east Asian people living on the northern part of the Kamchatka peninsula and surrounding mainland in what is now the Russian Federation.
		After World War II the autonomous regions created for groups like the Koryak were subordinated to neighboring provinces, and thus the Koryak Autonomous Okrug (Region) became part of the Kamchatka Province, and its counties were little differentiated from the other counties in Kamchatka Province.
		Warfare was a small-time affair of raids and revenge among the Koryaks and other Siberian native peoples in the area, but Koryak did suffer heavily under constant raiding by Chukchi to the north during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

		The Northern Koryaks' neighbours were the Chukchis, "reindeer men" (chauchu), some of them moved to Kamchatka.

	Political agenda
		Because the asphalt Koryaks who have worked all their lives as policemen, bus drivers, teachers and now, all of a sudden, have remembered that somewhere in their lineage is a Koryak and therefore say ‘let me lead a traditional way of life in town’ -- this is nothing but profiteering from one’s ethnic origin.
		The Koryaks who live there… not Koryaks, another nationality of ours is there… in the Bystrinskiy district, they indeed lead a traditional way of life, they set up nomad camps, pitch their chums, drive dog sledges and subsist only on what they get from the forest.
		That is how the “asphalt Koryaks” came to be, forcibly resettled from their native lands, people maladapted to urban life, so hated and despised by Governor Mashkovtsev.
