[edit] Demographics
The village is a small settlement, population as of 2003: 324,[3] most of whom are of Chukchi descent.
[edit] History and economy
The name of the village means "Place of the Walrus" in Chukchi,[6], or "Walrus Jam",[3] to convey the meaning that there are regularly large numbers of Walrus in the vicinity. Unsurprisingly, marine hunting has traditionally been a key source of food and employment for the local indigenous people.[3]
As with several of the rural settlements thorughout Chukotka, Ryrkaipiy was the centre for a collectivised farm centred around reindeer. Indeed it was the central farmstead for the largest of all the reindeer herding famrs thorughout Chukotka, named Pioneer. Unlike other rural settlements in Chukotka such as Alkatvaam in Beringovsky District and Tavaivaam in Anadyrsky District, following the collapse of the Soviet Union and payments to the farms from the government effectively ceased as Russia moved to a market economy, the workers on this farm were able to keep their reindeer herds going and these herds are still the major source of employment for the local people, despite living on the coast.[3]
As with many Chukotkan villages, there are strong efforts made to keep the traditions of the indigenous peoples alive and although Ryrkaipiy has modern facilities in the shape of a hospital, post office, high school and daycare centre there is also a traditional Chukchi ensemble and cultural centre and Northern Star Native Women's Club.[3]
