This PhD thesis examines how Eveny reindeer-herding communities in northeastern Siberia negotiate the converging pressures of climate change, extractive expansion, and settler colonial governance. The analysis is based on ten months of ethnographic fieldwork (2021–2022) in two Eveny villages in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), supported by participant observation in kin networks, cohabitation with multigenerational households, and conversations.
