The Chuvans (Чуванцы in Russian) were a people in Siberia, which belonged to the Yukaghir group. They roamed along the upper streams of the Anadyr River and Anyuy River in the 17th century. The Chuvans were engaged in hunting, fishing and reindeer-breeding. In the 18th century, a part of the Chuvans retreated to the Kolyma River due to the onset of the Chukchi and became russified. The other part was assimilated by the Koryaks and Chukchis.
