East Arctic Mandate: Difference between revisions

At the present time, indigenous denizens of the Mandate who have not voluntarily submitted to civil registration are generally left to their own devices, with Kiravian authorities governing them (when necessary) indirectly through tribal leaders as intermediaries.

==Society & Culture==

The majority of the Mandate’s seventeen thousand people are indigenous, belonging to three different ethnic groups. The Chiryak or Chiraq people live as tundra herders and inland hunters. The Simiut are hunter-gatherers in the more northerly glaciated areas and the Intuit are marine mammal hunters living on the sea ice and adjacent coastal regions. Almost the entire indigenous population is nomadic or semi-nomadic, living in seasonally-shifting traditional settlements.

A small but growing population of Coscivian and Celtic Kiravians live in the Mandate, almost all on a temporary basis as military and governmental personnel, scientists, and service workers. A few Kiravian merchants and missionaries also live in the Mandate. There are also some [[Koré'hetanùa|Koré'hetanùan]] workers in the mandate who maintain the supply chains to touristic establishments in the International Nature Preserve.
