 | | Nenetses are of Samoyedic peoples and related to Yenets people, Selkup people and Nganasan people. |
 | | The so-called Samoyedes inhabiting the S of the governments of Tomsk and Yeniseisk have been much under Tatar influence and appear to be of a different stock; their sub-groups are the Kamasin Tatars, the Kaibals, the Mators (aka "Motors"), the Beltirs, the Karagasses and the Samoyedes of the middle Ob. |
 | | Thus, the Kaibals left the Sayan mountains and took possession of the Abakan steppe (Minusinsk region), abandoned by the Kirghizes, in the earlier years of last century, and in Northeast Russia the Zyrians (Komi) are still driving the Samoyedes farther N., towards the Arctic coast. |
