The article was written with the substantial participation of Yu. A. Artemova and with the financial support of the Russian Science Foundation as part of the project No. 21–18–00495 “On the Frontier of Cultures: From Individual Biographies to the Historical Destinies of Ethnic Communities (The Evenks of Siberia and Indigenous Australians in the Conditions of Modernization).” Carried out at the Russian State University for the Humanities. The author of the article also thanks A. A. Sirina for valuable advices.
This article offers comparative analysis of historical and ethnographic data as well as personal biographies of the Australian aborigines of Cape York Peninsula and the Evenki people of East Siberia and Russia’s Far East. Both groups experienced a series of cultural and socio-economic transformations while encircled by alien societies and controlled by powerful state authorities which cardinally changed their policies towards indigenous communities many times
