 Siberian Survival: The Nenets and Their Story Demokratizatsiya - Find Articles
The Nenets are among the thirty small groups of people of the North who have preserved their traditional reindeer-herding way of life in the face of intense gas exploration on the Yamal Peninsula, which by 1996 was scaling down for economic reasons.
The authors assert that six assaults on Nenets culture-"the taking of property and reindeer..., the occupation of traditional lands..., the persecution of shamans..., the institution of forced labor..., the denial of voting rights..., and the forced removal of children to boarding schools..." have failed to destroy "the herding complex and culture" (144-45).
The authors note that Nenets culture has survived because it is adaptable, and their very last sentence is, "We, as outsiders, must allow them the space for adaptation and the opportunity to retain control over their lives" (150).

 The Nenets and Khanty of Northern Russia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Arctic reindeer pastoralists, the Yamal Nenets and Khanty traveled great distances up and down the peninsula, moving from northern tundra pastures in summer to the more protected sub-Arctic taiga in winter.
The culture and technology of the Nenets and Khanty were well adapted to the nomad pastoralist lifestyle of this arctic environment.
Deprived of their lands, subsistence rights, and reindeer, most Nenets of Yamal became hired workers in reindeer breeding state enterprises, although about 1750 indigenous residents, comprising 343 households, still have small private herds, living on the tundra and more southern tiaga largely separate from the collective economic system.

Maksimov claims (although again via his interlocutor) that the Nenets are «a totally ignorant people», basing his argument on the fact that the Nenets are not aware of their age and do not live in houses like Russians do (Maksimov 1909b: 382).
Castrén's viewpoint to the Nenets (hereby he refers to the type of a typical native) «character» is at places remarkably adequate, as it includes also a certain hint to the question of how the 19th century researchers' and travellers' knowledge about the general characteristics of such tundra and taiga people is obtained:
