Abstract
The dynamics of the ethnic and social appearance of the indigenous population of Wrangel island in the 1930-1940s is traced. Changes in environmental management, material culture, and social organization are analyzed. The nature and results of external influence on the aboriginal community are discussed. Social changes within a closed indigenous community with weakened external support, exemplified by the island population, are considered negative. Dependency trends in everyday life and nature management spread among the islanders. This social shift caused uneven distribution of work efforts for survival among capable community members. The asymmetry of the work load resulted in the weakening of internal ties and to the division of the ethnic community into individual households.
