I've always been fascinated by the history of the Russian conquest of the Caucasus region, central Asia, Siberia, and extreme north Far East. There are definitely some parallels of how the Native tribes of the Americas (New World) were conqured by the colonial English, Spaniards, Portuguese, French, and the Danish (sort of) if you count Greenland. I must say I'm impressed by how this remote small tribe with such courage and fierce determination were able to take on the imperial forces of Russia. They maintained their independence and rarely ever paid the imposed 'yisak'‐(turkic word meaning tribute). Truly an admirable story and history of a mighty and great small tribe. 👏
Absolutely, there are so many parallels with the stories of the Americas and the devastation of the indigenous people there. I'm glad you liked the video!
I'm brazilian and I've been studying our native people and I can say this language sounds (at least for someone who doesn't speak the language) so much alike Tupi-Guarani and other native languages around
I have been mystified by a Native American Marker I have on a DNA test. Cherokee showed up and I had no idea how since ancestors all from Europe, at least more recently. Chukchi is number two on my list and that gives me some clue as to how I got the marker. They are considered genetic first cousins to native cousins.
What an interesting genealogy! I'm glad the video has helped to shed some light. If I may, do you have any Russian ancestry? If so, it's entirely plausible another ethnic group might have popped up in your family tree - the Aleuts!
"The Chukchi language is unrelated to neighboring languages." What the...?!!! Chuckhi is not isolated, it has a LOT of relatives! Koryak, Kerek, Alutor, Itelmen, just to name a few.
It's a fair comment and one I should perhaps quantify with this statement: The Chukchi language has influenced neighbouring languages (Koryak, Itelmen etc.) and share some of the same Russian-influenced grammatical points (as languages evolve) - however the language itself, in the strictest sense, is unrelated to neighbouring languages - as in it has not sprung from the same core vocabulary (for example as Tatar and Chuvash have). My point here is that Chukchi has not evolved from (according to my research) a proto Chukotkan language that shares roots with the other languages in the Chukotkan-Kamchatkan grouping.
@@allaboutrussia2022 greetings from new york as well. i went to the nys museum of natural history and saw a chukchi warrior’s raiment and arms on display. this is part of my rabbit hole of looking into the chukchi people thank you for the video!
Eskimos in the very far north & red Indian in North America both of these tribes had being genocide by invaders over 200 years back. Extinction is expected but some escaped and remained very little. They were not weaponised themselves as they live in simple life and so isolated. They are not stupid but invaders always felt themselves very superior and smart, same as invaders felt on Chinese during that time 150 years back.
That is a really interesting question. Honestly, I am not certain at all. I would guess that (as with many parts of the Russian Federation) it would not be well based on the simple fact that anti-LGBTQ laws have been passed in Russia and Chukotka is a part of that.
Great question: in truth it wasn't necessary, but on this channel I like to show the language families for context and to make connections. Technically, Chukchi is in the Chukotko-Kamchatkan language family tree, but this does not mean the language are similar to each other - just that features were similar enough to be grouped together.
@@allaboutrussia2022 do not think so. The language family is mostly accepted and not mentioned as a “proposed language family”. And since linguists should not find a language family for all languages if they were not sure they would claim that. We know many other groups and families share common features and vocabularies but they are not considered as members of the same language family because of them.
@@Kurdedunaysiri You're perfectly at odds to disagree with the category or family grouping it should be in. For the moment, however, the language is generally accepted as being within the Chukotkan-Kamchatkan linguistic family tree en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chukchi_language
@@Kurdedunaysiri Ah, apologies, allow me to clarify: The reason I say Chukchi is unrelated to any nearby language is that linguists have determined much of the vocabulary does not share common terms with Koryak, Kamchadal etc. It's in the same family tree largely from how the language utilitises grammatical functions, not the words themselves.
I think you'd be hard pressed to identify modern Siberia as anything less than massively influenced by Russia. Whilst many Turkic, Mongolian and Siberian ethnic groups reside there, the vast majority of Siberians are both ethnic Slavs. In either case, nearly everyone (bar foreign nationals) in Siberia is a Russian citizen.

I thought i knew "a lot" about that region....and then you went to litteraly "educated" me for half an hour... that is priceless THX
Share the knowledge! :D
These videos are great, keep up the good work!
Thank you, I hope you found it interesting!

Interesting....I must confess I know next to nothing about indigenous Brazilian languages.
incredible channel. thanks for the videos.

this was the video i needed for my school project thanks man!
Glad to help!

Most Chukchi men carry haplogroup N unlike Native Americans, but some Chukchi have haplogroup Q like Native Americans
like Turkmen and Uyghur Turkic peoples
@@azizyigido Uyghurs, turkmen more like tuva, Kazakh... they aren't similar northern people
@@movie9600 Turkmen and Uyghur Turkic have Q haplogroup,not kazakh and Tuva

@@Soviless99 Very cool! I'm glad that these cultural exchanges are still going on, they provide a very cool insight!
@@allaboutrussia2022 yes thank you for the videos you provide. i’ve always loved russian history and how its a mix of asia and the west.
Great video, as always. 👍
I'm curious, why did you need to reupload it?
Thank you. I reuploaded it as the music later in the video was dominating everything.

They were not weaponised themselves as they live in simple life and so isolated.

The underestimation of indigenous communities by expanding colonial powers certainly paid a heavy toll. I hope you enjoyed the video!

How do chukchis treat members of the lgbtq?
That is a really interesting question. Honestly, I am not certain at all. I would guess that (as with many parts of the Russian Federation) it would not be well based on the simple fact that anti-LGBTQ laws have been passed in Russia and Chukotka is a part of that.
A pity thats all you can think about- people pushing poop with their penises.

Why do you tell us that it is not related to any neighboring language just after showing the language family that it is a of it ?

@@allaboutrussia2022 that is what I am saying. The language has relative languages. The language is related some other languages !

It irks me when people talk about Siberia and try to pass it off as Russia.
