Summary/Abstract: The study analyzes the existing legislation of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) regarding the Representative for the Rights of Small Indigenous Peoples of the North. The analysis of legal acts makes it possible to indicate the legal framework for the status of the Representative of the Rights of Small Indigenous Peoples of the North as one of the mechanisms of nationality policy towards small indigenous ethnic groups in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The analysis has been conducted considering systemic, comparative and dogmatic approaches. The study indicates good solutions, as well as the inadequacies of the mechanism for the legal protection of small indigenous ethnic groups of the North by the Representative. The author concludes that there is a need for further development of Sakha (Yakutia) legislation on the Representative for the Rights of Small Indigenous Peoples of the North.
