Russian Far East and Siberia, and especially the region around Lake Baikal, has a rich history of so called "Pribaikalie" civilizations. These populations were indigenous people living here before Russians pass the Ural mountains and conquer this region. Among them, we find the Buryats, Koriaques, Nanais, Tchouktchis, and Evenks. Most of local museums dedicated good exhibitions about their way of life: habitat, dress, activities (mostly hunting, fishing), and rituals closely linked to chamanism.
