Abstract. The article considers the problem of the forest Yukaghirs’ ethnic self-identification in language and folklore. This problem is closely associated with such issues as the people’s origin, history, life activity, traditional worldview. It is shown that the forest Yukaghirs’ ethnonyms contain the notions "human", "people", "nation", "clan", represent different types of identity: territorial, kinship, totemic, cultural ones. In the forest Yukaghirs’ folklore, ethnic self-identification manifests itself in the context of the ancestors’ time, through references to the bygone epoch of prosperity, legendary chieftains and elders, clans. In this context, a human is considered as a biological individual.
