. . . . "Alternative names: Chuvantsy"@en . . . . . "Not to be confused with the Chuvash or the Tuvans.Chuvans (Russian: \u0447\u0443\u0432\u0430\u0301\u043D\u0446\u044B) are one of the forty or so \"less-numerous peoples of the North\" recognized by the Russian government. Most Chuvans today live within Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in the far northeast of Russia. Based on first-hand field research by several ethnographers in the 1990s, people who self-identify as Chuvans seem to do so by living in small villages and in the tundra in areas that are primarily associated with reindeer herding."@en . .
