The Selkup (Russian: селькупы, romanizedsel'kupy) are a Samoyedic speaking Uralic ethnic group native to Siberia.[2] They live in the northern parts of Tomsk Oblast, Krasnoyarsk Krai and Tyumen Oblast (with Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug).[3] Selkups from 1850s until the 1930s exclusively in the scientific literature were called Ostyak-Samoyeds (остяко-самоеды, ostyako-samoyedy). This ethnonym has never been widely used.
