The Arctic is one of Russia’s treasures. However, Arctic economic development means that business is invading lands that are sacred to indigenous peoples. As a rule, regional authorities are interested in tax revenues from subsoil users, prompting them to decide the culture-or-mining dilemma in favor of the latter. But this does not mean that the price of this encroachment on indigenous lands remains uncalculated. Since its establishment in 2010, Yakutia’s Ethnological Expertise Committee has developed a tool for assessing the damage caused to indigenous communities by subsoil users. The problem of getting businesses to compensate indigenous communities has yet to be solved. This article seeks answers to the problem of fair compensation methods and explores modes of partnership and cooperation on traditional lands.

北极是俄罗斯的宝藏之一。然而，北极经济发展意味着商业正在入侵对土著人民来说是神圣的土地。作为一项规则，地方当局对来自底土使用者的税收感兴趣，这促使他们做出有利于后者的文化或采矿困境。但这并不意味着这种侵占土著土地的代价仍然无法计算。自 2010 年成立以来，雅库特民族学专家委员会开发了一种工具，用于评估底土使用者对土著社区造成的损害。让企业补偿土著社区的问题尚未解决。本文寻求公平补偿方式问题的答案，探索传统土地上的伙伴合作模式。
