Conclusions of the article have been done on the basis of wide field researches of 2010-2014 in the Evenkis Municipal Region, Taimyr Dolgano-Nenets Municipal Region, Turukhansk Region, and Tyukhtet Region. The following specialists took part in the field researchers: economists, sociologists, architects, builders, medical specialists, cultural specialists, ethnologists, and fine art experts. The given article is devoted to innovative processes in Surinda - a Northern village (the Evenkis Municipal Region), a compact settlement of Evenkis – an indigenous nation of the Siberian Arctic Region. The main research method used by the authors of the article is the intepretation of the results of field researches conducted in the northern territories of the Krasnoyarsk Region in 2010-2015 and critical analysis of scientific sources on the matter. The basic occupation of Evenkis in Surinda is domestic reindeer breeding, hunting, fishing, and wild plants gathering. The scientists have researched the actual condition of Evenki reindeer breeders, their economic, social and cultural status. In the sphere of the Evenkis, they observe processes of social stratification, single out economic groups of the rich and the poor. Innovative processes should contribute to economic commonwealth of the Evenki reindeer breeders. To achieve this target, the researchers have developed a new typical model of a northern settlement (on the basis of the Surinda village, Evenkia). According to the authors, today's northern settlement should have innovative mini-manufactures that would reduce the cost of consumed energy and food products. The architecture of a northern settlement in Evenkia should involve cultural signs, images and symbols of the Evenki ethnic group. Special features of innovative processes in the sphere of indigenous small-numbered nations of the Siberian Arctic Region include a harmonious combination of cultural and environmental traditions of Evenkis and modern small science-intensive manufactures to provide small ethnic groups living in hazardous climate with all they need for a decent life. Innovative processes in the sphere of indigenous small-numbered nations of the Siberian Arctic Region should contribute to the preservation of the unique cultural, environmental and economic practice of these nations.
