Wikipedia description:

Dolgans (Russian: Долганы; Dolgan: долган, дулҕан, Һака, romanized: dolgan, dulğan, haka (Sakha); Yakut: тыа-киһи, romanized: tıa-kihi) are a Turkicized Tungusic ethnic group who mostly inhabit Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. They are descended from several groups, particularly Evenks, one of the Indigenous peoples of the Russian North. Dolgans are the most closely related to the Evenks. They adopted a Turkic language sometime in the early 19th century. The 2010 Census counted 7,885 Dolgans. This number includes 5,517 in Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District. Dolgan speak the Dolgan language, which is closely related to the Yakut language.
