Yes, we did propose that the state should include an ethnological study to find out how a particular business project impacts a traditional life style of an aboriginal community.是的，我们也建议，国家应包括一个人种的研究，找出如何特定业务项目的影响，传统的生活方式，一个原住民社区。 I can give you an example of such influence from the life of my own people.我可以给你一个例子，这种影响力从生活，我自己的人民。 Until the 1970s, eight ethnic groups of the Udege people existed, while today only half of them are left because the Ussury taiga forest was cut down on the territories where four of them used to live, which deprived them of their hunting grounds and in effect removed the economic basis of their livelihoods from their under their feet.直到20世纪70年代， 8族群的udege人存在，而今天，只有一半是离开，因为ussury taiga的森林是降低了该地区，其中4人使用的生活，剥夺了他们的狩猎场，并在生效删除的经济基础，他们的生计，从他们的下他们的脚。

The Law on Guarantees of Small Peoples’ Rights has been so badly mutilated over the past few years that there are practically no rights left.法律上保证小人民权利一直这么差肢解在过去几年中，有几乎没有权利离开。 The Law on Territories of Traditional Natural Resources Use of the Small Indigenous Nations of the Russian North, Siberia and the Far East has been in effect since 2001, yet not a single such territory has since been created.
