[Self-designation Одул, Вадул] The Yukaghir are a Paleo-Siberian people living in the northeast of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), where the coldest regions of Siberia are located. Due to the increasing expansion of the Even and Sakha (Yakut) populations, they now inhabit only parts of their former territory. Their main sources of livelihood are fishing, hunting, and reindeer herding, with reindeer primarily used as sled animals.  See also Yukaghir tales by A.I. Struchkova and I. Kurilov.
