Domestic and foreign science about the ornament of indigenous people of the Far Northeast Asia
This paper is devoted to the historiography of studying the ornament of indigenous people of the FarNortheast Asia. It was revealed that the study of the ornament took place in the framework of ethnographicscience starting with the 18th century. In the 19th century there was a limited amount of information aboutthe ornamentations of Pacific ethnic groups (Koryaks, Itelmens, Churchi, Asian Eskimos, Kereks). In theperiod of the 1920–1930s the formation of the art historical conception of the ornament took place. Thisphenomenon is associated with the formation of the foundations of a scientific approach to folk art as a subject
of art history. A detailed analysis of historiographical literature from the 18th to the beginning of the 21st century was carried out. Since the 1950s the study of the ornament in Russian historiography was put on scientific basis thanks to the scientific works of C. V. Ivanov, a Russian ethnographer and art critic, D. Sc. (History). The scientists of Russian historical science from the different periods of its development, as well as foreign ones, have made a significant contribution to the problems of studying of the ornament of these peoples. This subject is relevant, its research will contribute to the preservation of the spiritual and material
culture of Pacific ethnic groups.
