The Ulch // People Of The Amur River // Indigenous Peoples Of Russia

Along the course of the Amur River, not far from Lake Udyl, a small people under the name of Ulchi are located. The Ulchi call themselves “the Nani” while the word “Ulchi” is used as the official name. Chinese chronicles of the fifteenth century called the Ulchi and Nivkhi a “Gi-Lya-Mi.” Russian chronicles of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries very often combined the Ulchi and Nivkhi into one people and called them “the Gilyak” or “Gilyak men.” ►More Episodes: ►All Documentaries: ►Subscribe and hit the bell:
