Abstract
The article is devoted to the ethnocultural processes among the aboriginal population of the Republic of Altai in the period between the population censuses of 2002 and 2010. In March 2000 the Telengits, Tubalars, Chelkans were included into the Single list of indigenous small peoples of the Russian Federation. Since then the debates have been going on whether the Telengits should be regarded as an ethnic group separate from other Altai indigenous peoples.
