Autochtonous People in general, and Siberia’s Finno-Ugrian people in particular, the Khantes and the Mansis, can only maintain their existence by being grounded in a territory necessary to the development of their language and way of life. But this territory is constantly amputated by the industrial expansion, in search of oil, gas and other natural resources. This is why defending autochtonous rights and interests is an urgent imperative.
