Abstract

In 2010-2015, scientists, students, post-graduate students of Siberian Federal University carried out field research in the village and the settlements Farkovo and Turukhansk (Krasnoyarsk Krai). We investigated the ethnic and cultural characteristics of the Northern Selkups, Kets, Evenks. Field research scientists of the Siberian Federal University to reconstruct the elements of the historical memory of the Northern Selkup, who live in the settlement Farkovo. Due to the reconstruction of the historical memory of the Northern Selkups can clarify some of the causes of ethnic migration in the Northern Selkups of Krasnoyarsk Krai in the early twentieth century History memory of Northern Selkups stores the memory of the battle that took place between the various ethnic tribes in the early twentieth century. The historical event of the battle (as a cause of ethnic migration) between the Northern Selkups and other indigenous peoples of the North and Siberia has not yet been reflected in historical descriptions. Proof that the historical memory of the Northern Selkup keeps memory of significant events that have a sword that Selkups, inhabitants of settlement Farkovo of Turukhansk district, found in places where the legendary battle took place. Historical memory can be of great importance for the reconstruction of ethnic history of the indigenous peoples of the Central Siberia.
