Kamchadals
Kamchadals are a distinct ethnographic group originating from the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East. Historically, the term "Kamchadal" referred to the indigenous people of Kamchatka, primarily the Itelmen, but over time, it also came to encompass individuals of mixed Russian and indigenous ancestry who resided in the region. The Kamchadals developed a unique culture influenced by both their indigenous roots and Russian colonization.
Traditional Kamchadal life was closely tied to the natural resources of Kamchatka. They were skilled hunters
The Kamchadal language, or at least the historical linguistic heritage associated with the group, is complex.
