Indigenous peoples of Chemgota

The Indigenous peoples of Chemgota (Romanised Russian: Korennyye narody Chemgota) also referred to as Aboriginal Chemgotans (Romanised Russian: Aborigeny Chemgotany) are the various groups of indigenous peoples circumscribed within the political boundaries of mainland Chemgota and it's surrounding islands. Collectively, the Indigenous peoples of Chemgota, or Aboriginal Chemgotans is applied to as an umbrella term regarding all first nations and tribes which resided in Chemgota prior to Russian colonisation and migration to the Dalstroy region.
The indigenous peoples of Chemgota are highly divaricated and diverse with each tribe having it's own unique identity, language, ethnicity, religion and culture whilst some are more familiar and relatable than other tribes. As a result of this, wars between indigenous tribes have broken out, centuries prior to Russian contact. It is believed that the first peoples in Chemgota dated around 45,000 BCE
The population before Russian colonisation hasn't be confirmed or identified officially, but it is estimated to be around 50,000 to 370,000, although different sources has different estimates, which has long been debate between historians and archaeologists alike. The majority of the indigenous peoples believe in Shamanism which usually shared the same characteristics revolving around the nature and land of the area they habited. Explaining how movement and migration between different tribal groups were uncommon. 
With the arrival of Russians to the Northeastern Far East, colonisation efforts were enacted to stabilise and assimilate the local indigenous populations in present day Chemgota and to convert them to the ways of the Eastern Orthodox Church, these efforts to convert and assimilate the local first nations resulted in conflict between the Russian colonists and the Indigenous Chemgotans, as decades of war was raged between both sides, the Russian Empire began to massacre and force the indigenous peoples to assimilate to Russian culture, as apart of Russification. With disease also spreading rampant amongst the native population, this caused large margins of depopulation and meteoric extinction of a large portion of different indigenous tribes. 
During the contemporary era, the Chemgotan natives contributed a large part of modern Chemgotan history, serving in large scales as apart of the Imperial Russian Army and Red Army during the First and Second World Wars aiding in the defence of all Russia against the German and allied invasions, following the 20th century, the indigenous peoples of Chemgota grew to have favourable separatist tendencies to split from the wider Russian Federation, numerous attempts failed until Chemgotan independence was declared on August 12th, 2027. The Aboriginals of the Dalstroy mostly supported Chemgotan independence against the Russian forces, enlisting and volunteering to fight against the Russian forces in the pivotal and devastating Chemgotan War of Independence which decided the future of the region, however amidst the conflict between Russia and Chemgota. Several breakaway states were established and declared independence which was not recognised by either side and were subsequently quelled and reft by both major factions, the breakaway states were also unfavourable to the native populous despite being engineered to represent the native population within their corresponding regions.
