Chukchi

Chukchi Ethnobotany

In this project we worked mostly with coastal Chukchi in the Chukotskiy district, in the villages of Lorino, Lavrentiya, Uelen, Inchoun, Enurmino and Neshkan.  We made brief visits to reindeer camps in the interior of this district and also did some work in Ryrkaypiy (Iultinskiy district) and the adjoining tundra.  Here are a few photos showing the context of our work.
