Settlement of Orochs in the Far Eastern Federal District by urban and rural settlements in%, 2010 census

Orochs traditionally settled in the southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai, Russia and on the Amur and Kopp rivers. In the 19th century, some of them migrated to Sakhalin. In the early 1930s, the Orochi National District was created, but was cancelled shortly thereafter "due to lack of native population".

Because the people never had a written language, they were educated in the Russian language. Their language, Oroch, is on the verge of extinction. They follow Shamanism, the Russian Orthodox Church, and Buddhism.

History

Between 1963 and 1993, major changes took place in Oroch families:

  • Almost all Orochi marriages became inter-ethnic - in 1951-1955, 73% of Orochi marriages were mono-ethnic, and in 1991-1995 only 9%.[2]
  • The share of Oroch-Russian marriages increased sharply from 9% in 1951-1955 to 82% in 1991-1995.[2]
  • The maximum size of an Oroch family decreased from 10 to 7 people from 1963 to 1993.[2]
  • The average family size of the Orochi in 1993 was 2.9 people, compared to 4.8 in 1963.[2]
 
Orochis placed near the Sea of Japan on an 1851 map.
