Leaders of the Russian Association of Indigenous
Peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East will take part in business and
cultural events at the 7th Eastern Economic Forum, which will be
held from 5 to 8 September in Vladivostok. The Forum is organized by the
Roscongress Foundation.
Planned events include round tables on the
development of traditional economy of indigenous peoples, interaction with
industrial companies within the ESG standards paradigm, as well as perspectives
in the field of creative industries. Discussions will culminate in a panel
session entitled ‘Life of Indigenous Peoples: Preserving Traditions, Developing
the Economy and Improving the Quality of Life’.
For the first time, Far East Street will feature the
House of Indigenous Peoples. It is dedicated to the culture of the traditional Northern
dwellers. Numerous events will be held there including the discussion platform
entitled ‘Creative Industries Forum. Socio-Cultural Development of Northern Regions’.
Forum events include the following sessions: Taming the Cold: Technologies for Living
in the North; Snow House: Features of the Northern Urban Environment; Russian
Arctic Style; People: Creative Potential of the North; Arctic, Siberia and Far
East Gastronomy; and many others. Leaders of the Association of Indigenous Peoples
of the Russian Federation and Far East will take part in these events, as well
as in the round tables on development of traditional economy of indigenous
peoples. The cultural programme will present the photographs taken by winners
of the Northern Gaze contest and a photo exhibition entitled Children of the
Arctic. Visitors will be able to take part in master classes on bone, horn, and
walrus tusk carving; making national toys; creating artworks from fish skin and
deer fur; and learn national dances of Northern Peoples. In addition, visitors
to the pavilion will be able to taste the unique gastronomy of the North in the
ICE BAR.
“The fact that the leaders of 40 indigenous peoples participate
in the Eastern Economic Forum shows the interest of the state, business, and
the public in helping the indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation. Today the
Association tackles the main issues indigenous peoples face, namely the
preservation of traditions in the modern world, development of the traditional
economy, and improvement of the quality of life. Together with the Ministry for
the Development of the Russian Far East, the Federal Agency for Ethnic Affairs,
and the Roscongress Foundation we will be discussing all these issues on the
sidelines of the Forum, where we are holding a joint panel session. I am
convinced that during this session we will be able to find new approaches, ways
and prospects for development of human life in the Arctic, as well as improving
the life of the indigenous peoples in the North, Siberia and the Far East,”
said Grigory Ledkov, President of the Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples
of the North, Siberia and the Far East.
Organizational support for the Association of
Indigenous Peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East of the Russian
Federation is provided by the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far
East, the Federal Agency for Nationalities, the Roscongress Foundation, and the
Information and Analysis Centre of the State Commission for Arctic Development.
