The Tundra Yukaghirs live in the Lower Kolyma region in the [[Sakha Republic]]; the Taiga Yukaghirs in the Upper Kolyma region in the Sakha Republic and in [[Srednekansky District]] of [[Magadan Oblast]]. By the time of Russian [[colonization]] in the 17th century, the Yukaghir tribal groups occupied territories from the [[Lena River]] to the mouth of the [[Anadyr River]]. The number of the Yukaghirs decreased between the 17th and 19th centuries due to [[epidemics]], internecine wars and [[Tsarist]] colonial policy which may have included genocide against the sedentary hunter-fisher Anaouls. Some of the Yukaghirs have assimilated with the [[Yakuts]], [[Evens]], and [[Russians]].

Currently, Yukaghirs live in the [[Sakha Republic]] and the [[Chukotka Autonomous Okrug]] of the Russian Federation. According to the 2002 Census, their total number was 1,509 people, up from 1,112 recorded in the [[Soviet Census (1989)|1989 Census]].

According to the latest 2001 all Ukrainian census, 12 Yukaghirs are living in [[Ukraine]]. Only 2 of them indicated [[Yukaghir languages|Yukaghir]] as their native language. For the remaining others (6) it is [[Russian language|Russian]] and for 1 it is some other tongue.<ref name="2001.ukrcensus.gov.ua"/>
