CHUKOTKA-007a

Left: A Chukchi dance group performs at the port of Provideniya, Russia, for tourists. Chukchi and Yup'ik indigenous communities make up a significant portion of Chukotka's population, though many have been displaced several times over the past century. Dance and ceremony remain strong within their cultures.
