    Patty Gray explores why the local Chukotko people's "indigenous rights movement," which asserts that Chukotko people should enjoy a privileged cultural or political space, has been unsuccessful. Gray analyzes the movement as a continuation of Soviet tendencies rather than something comparable to Native Rights movements in the Russian Far North. She argues that the intellectuals leading the movement are dominantly urban and educated at Soviet schools, while the population they represent is largely rural and poorly educated.
