		The Samoyedic languages form a minor branch of the Uralic language family, the major branch being the Finno-Ugric languages.

	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).
