Elizabeth Petrovna, Nekrasovka, Sakhalin Island
Elizabeth Petrovna is Nivkhi, one of the 'Northern Peoples' - the term used to describe the indigenous groups of North and Far East Russia. The Nivkhi were traditionally semi-nomadic fishermen but have widely adopted the Russian way of
life, with commercial jobs in agriculture, industry and services. Estimates suggest that only about 4500 Nivkhi survive, over half of whom live in the village of Nekrasovka in the far north of Sakhalin Island.
