The largest ethnic group in Siberia is Slavic-origin [[Russians]], including their sub-ethnic group [[Siberians]], and russified [[Ukrainians in Siberia|Ukrainians]].<ref>{{cite web |url-status=dead |url=http://www.ukrweekly.com/old/archive/2003/180304.shtml |title=Ukrainians in Russia's Far East try to maintain community life] |website=The Ukrainian Weekly |date=4 May 2003 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304051255/http://www.ukrweekly.com/old/archive/2003/180304.shtml |archive-date=4 March 2016 |first1=Maryna |last1=Makhnonos  }}</ref> [[Slavs|Slavic]] and other [[Proto-Indo-Europeans|Indo-European]] ethnicities make up the vast majority (over 85%) of the Siberian population. There are also other groups of Indigenous Siberian and non-Indigenous ethnic origin. A minority of the current population are descendants of [[Mongol]] or Turkic people (mainly [[Buryats]], [[Yakuts]], [[Tuvans]], [[Altai people|Altai]] and [[Khakas]]) or [[Indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East|
northern Indigenous people]]. Slavic-origin Russians outnumber all of the Indigenous peoples combined, except in the Republics of [[Tuva]] and [[Sakha Republic|Sakha]].

According to the 2002 census there are 500,000 [[Tatars]] in Siberia, but of these, 300,000 are [[Volga Tatars]] who also settled in Siberia during periods of colonization and are thus also non-Indigenous Siberians, in contrast to the 200,000 [[Siberian Tatars]] which are Indigenous to Siberia.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://newasp.omskreg.ru/hist/fotatlas/rezumeen.htm |title=Siberian tatars |access-date=21 February 2003 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020227012304/http://newasp.omskreg.ru/hist/fotatlas/rezumeen.htm |archive-date=27 February 2002  }}</ref> Of the Indigenous Siberians, the Mongol-speaking [[Buryats]], numbering approximately 500,000, are the most numerous group in Siberia, and they are mainly concentrated in their homeland, the [[Buryatia|Buryat Republic]].<ref>[http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/topic,463af2212,49709eae2,49749cc4c,0.html World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples – Russian Federation: Buryats].</ref> According to the [[Demographics of Russia#Ethnic groups|2010 census]] there were 478,085 indigenous Turkic-speaking [[Yakuts]].<ref>[http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/topic,463af2212,469f2eff2,49749cb441,0.html World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples – Russian Federation: Yakuts].</ref> Other [[ethnic group]]s Indigenous to Siberia include [[Ket people|Kets]], [[Evenks]], [[Chukchis]], [[Koryaks]], [[Yupik peoples|Yupiks]], and [[Yukaghirs]].
