Who they are
Chukchi?
The Chukchi are the indigenous people of Chukotka, who settled here back in the fourth or third millennium B.C. The quiet life ended with the arrival of the Russian explorers in the late seventeenth century. Bloody battles lasted for almost a century, ending in a complete and unconditional victory of the indigenous people.
American scientists have discovered genes in them that allow the cells to release additional heat.
Why aren't the Chukchi freezing?
For centuries, the main food of the people has been boiled meat, plants, berries and roots. Until recently, the most common dish found in any family was monialo. This is half-digested moss extracted from the stomach of a killed deer. It was served together with blood, finely chopped meat and fat.
Chukchi names?

Typical male Chukchi names are Aleleke, Imryn, Atch-ytagyn, Alyapenryn; female names are Iv-navyt, Penr-ynna and Tyna-tval
