The Entsy are a people of the Samoyed linguistic group, living in the Taimyr National Okrug of Krasnoyarsk Krai. They number about 350 individuals. At present, most of the Entsy live along the lower reaches of the Yenisei River, in Ust'-Enisei, Dudinka and, in part, Avam raions of the okrug. They live in several rather separated territorial groups. Significant differences exist among the Entsy of the various groups both in material and intellectual culture.
