The Nenets (Nenets: ненэй ненэче, romanized: nenəj nenəče; Russian: ненцы, romanized: nentsy), also known as 'Samoyeds' or 'Yuraks' (deprecated terms), are a Samoyedic ethnic group native to Arctic Russia, Russian Far North.
The Nenets, an indigenous and small-numbered people of the Russian North, are culturally and linguistically divided into two distinct communities: the Tundra Nenets and the Forest Nenets.
