Abstract "This book explores the survival of federal Russia. Based on the field of cultural anthropology and historical research in the republics of Eastern Siberia--Sakha (Yakutia), Buryatia, and Tyva (Tuva)--the book highlights Indigenous concerns about civil society, spiritual vitality, and ecology. Indigenous groups are defending their lands and rights without being secessionist"-- Provided by publisher.
