[edit] Demographics

The village is a small settlement on the shore of the Bering Sea, population as of 2003: 375,[3] of which around 87% are of indigenous origin.[3]

[edit] Economics

The main occupations revolve around traditional indigenous economic activities of fishing and hunting, both on land and sea. There is also a successful reindeer herding enterprise on the pastures surrounding the village with around 400 head.[3] Although this is a traditional enterprise among many arctic peoples, these formerly nomadic enterprises were grouped together in the Soviet Union to form a collective farm (kolkhoz).

Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, almost all government support was removed from the state farms as a notional market economy took over. However, unlike villages such as Alkatvaam and Tavayvaam in Anadyrsky District, when the state farm became the Municipal Unitary Enterprise of Rural Agricultural Producers, the herders were able to continue their livelihood.[3]

There is an irony that the traditional economic driver of reindeer herding is succeeding here for the time being when it has either disappeared or been significantly reduced elsewhere given that the name of the village used by the Chukchi is Vatyrkan which translates as "a dry, exhausted land",[3] despite the pastures surrounding the village.

As with many Chukotkan villages, Khatyrka has modern facilities: a hospital, post office, high school and daycare centre alongside the traditional Chukchi ensemble and cultural centre.[3]

[edit] Administrative vs. municipal jurisdiction

Until July 2008, Khatyrka was a part of both Beringovsky Municipal and Beringnovsky Administrative District. In May 2008, Beringovsky Municipal District was merged into Anadyrsky Municipal District[7] (the administrative centre of which is Anadyr); however, this change did not affect the borders of Beringovsky Administrative District. Khatyrka continued to belong administratively to the latter until June 2011, when Beringovsky Administrative District was merged into Anadyrsky Administrative District and ceased to exist.
