FUR ANIMAL HUNTING OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST:

The historical record shows the names of traps such as "Huka" (snare traps) and "Langi"(log drop traps) are common from the Manchu language in the south to the Evenki and the Even language in the north. [...] The reason should be garnered from the political and economic situation of the region from the beginning of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, when these traps were widely used. [...] According to the official documents of the regional govrnment of the Qing dynasty, the area in the Lower Amur and northern Primor'e supplied 2644 sable furs annually to the treasury of the dynasty. [...] There were several reasons for this devastating agreement: a depression of the forest industry in the Far East, a request for the immediate use of naturally deteriorated fir trees on the upper basin of the Bikin river at the end of the 1980’s, and an profit-minded regional government that was feeling the effects of the political and economic disorder of Perestroika. [...] One of the reasons why the area was registered to the TTP was that a lot of the Northern Minority people (i.e., the indigenous people) such as the Udehe and the Nanai worked for Gospromkhoz as hunters and fishermen.
