Kindred Peoples’ Programme

The main objective of the Kindred Peoples’ Programme (in Estonian: Hõimurahvaste programm) is to support the preservation and development of the languages and cultures of kindred Uralic (i.e., Finno-Ugric and Samoyedic) indigenous peoples.

Fenno-Ugria condemns the aggression by the Russian Federation in Ukraine

STATEMENT

Capitals of Culture
