1 • The Nivkh and Nanai
Abstract
Forming the boundary between Russia and Manchuria, the Amur merges with the Ussuri River near Khabarovsk before ultimately flowing into the Sea of Okhotsk. Stretching over 2,700 miles, it is the largest river in Siberia and shares comparable dimensions and elevation with the Yukon River in Alaska, both regions having historical ties to fish skin art traditions. The lower Amur River has historically served as a cultural and economic corridor in southeastern Russia, a region referred to as the Russian Far East.
