Chukchi
Chukchi - indigenous inhabitants of Chukotka, according to the All-Russian Census of 2002, number 15,767 people. More than 12.5 thousand of them live in the Chukotka Autonomous Area. Self-designation lygoravetlan (real people). As an official name of the people, this name itself has not caught on, although a significant part of the Chukchi continue to call themselves so according to the old tradition.
The Chukchi are subdivided into reindeer chukchi – tundra nomadic reindeer herders and a coastal – sedentary hunters for sea animals. The reindeer Chukchi, as well as Koryaks, call themselves chauchu, chavchu (reindeer man), the seaside ones - ankalyn, ankalyt (coast). Among the Western Chukchi, the self-name Chugchit is widespread, apparently from the Chauchu. It was first recorded in 1958 in the Kepervey settlement of the Bilibino region by V.V. Leontiev.
