Abstract
The article presents an overview of objects of decorative and applied art of the indigenous population in the Chukotka. The research material was the museum collections of the Chaunsky Museum of Local Lore, which are based on household items, ethnography and decorative and applied art of the "reindeer" (nomadic) and "sedentary" Chukchi, Eskimos and other peoples; as well as the archive of the Pevek School of Arts. Based on the experience of the Chaunsky Museum of Local Lore in the field of acquiring and exhibiting objects of decorative and applied art, the author examines examples of traditional Chukchi art and its traditions in the modern subculture. Traditional art is understood as bone carving art of the peoples of Chukotka, as well as embroidery from leather and fur — this division corresponds to the division of indigenous people into nomadic and sedentary. In this case, the modern subculture is understood as a culture created in a multinational region in the process of assimilation of local residents and the so-called “newcomer” population — Russians, Ukrainians and many others. As a result, not only mixed marriages took place, but also the mutual enrichment of cultural traditions — this was clearly manifested in the celebration of holidays, the creation of literary works, as well as in the creation of objects of decorative and applied art. In the collection of the Chaunsky Museum of Local Lore, there are similar examples of decorative and applied art of both Chukchi masters and masters of other nationalities.
