Abstract

The article discusses the possibility of using the concept of fine-tuning as a complex cosmogonic process of the emergence of the Universe and intelligent life, to study the qualitative change in some modern components of the culture of life (territorial development, crafts, beliefs and rituals, contacts with neighboring and alien ethnic groups) of communities of indigenous peoples of the Amur-Sakhalin region. As a result of the long-term multifaceted activity of individual representatives of the Nivkh ethnic group, the fundamental problem of using a certain section of the sea coast as a territory for fishing, economic, ritual and festive activities was solved. The fine tuning of social, legal, ethnic and cultural factors made it possible not only to revive traditional crafts, but also to assign a special protected status to this territory, to give it the character of a category of a place of memory, a link between previous generations of the Nivkh ethnic group and their modern descendants
