Native ‘land claims’, Russian style
Abstract
In Russia, as in Canada, Native peoples are attempting to gain greater control over their homelands. In the last decade, legislation at both the federal and sub‐federal (provincial, republican, etc.) level has sanctioned the transfer of land to Native ‘possession’, though not ownership, for the pursuit of traditional activities. This paper surveys the legislative basis that authorizes the creation of Native ‘communes’ (obshchinas) and their territorialization. After examining how the process works in theory, it examines the paths taken, and obstacles met, in establishing obshchinas in three Native communities in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).

Even with attempted erasure through settler colonialism, Indigenous communities, nations, and representative entities have actively resisted and advocated for self-determination and sovereignty both within and outside settler colonial states.
“Importantly, even with attempted erasure through settler colonialism, Indigenous communities, nations, and representative entities have actively resisted and advocated for self-determination and sovereignty both within and outside settler colonial states (Fondahl et al., 2001;Nuttall, 2018;Sulyandziga and Sulyandziga, 2020).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
