  Ostiaks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ostiaks, or Ostyaks are a tribe who inhabit the basin of the Ob in western Siberia belonging to the Finno-Ugric group and related to the Voguls.
The so-called Ostyaks of the Yenisei speak an entirely different language.
The best investigators (Castrén, Lerberg, A. Schrenck) consider the trans-Uralian Ostiaks and Samoyedes as identical with the Yugra of the Russian annals because of their proximity to the river Yugra.

 Ket people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ket are thought to be the only survivors of an ancient nomadic people believed to have originally lived throughout central southern Siberia.
