This article explores uncertainty as an onto‐epistemological concept that reveals integrative capacities of Indigenous and scientific knowledge. Looking at official scientific approaches to climate change in Russia, it traces how Indigenous peoples in Siberia navigate their lives as they continue to witness anthropogenic causes of climatic degradation intertwined with forceful denial of Indigenous needs and sociopolitical turbulence. By focusing on two ethnographic accounts involving Indigenous Eveny and Nanai, the article explores how uncertainty, and in particular environmental uncertainty, can be dealt with, acted upon, and deployed productively while broadening our understandings of vulnerability, agency, and resilience. Drawing on discrete Indigenous strategies of hariok among Nanai and nyamnin among Eveny, the analysis reveals a pathway to think about adaptive potentialities of uncertainty as a mode of responding to rapidly shifting environmental and sociopolitical conditions.

拥抱不确定性：在西伯利亚本土和科学专业知识的边界上对气候变化采取多孔且可操作的应对措施


本文将不确定性作为一种本体认识论概念进行探讨，揭示了土著知识和科学知识的整合能力。着眼于俄罗斯官方对气候变化的科学方法，它追溯了西伯利亚原住民如何度过他们的生活，因为他们继续目睹气候退化的人为原因与强力否认原住民需求和社会政治动荡交织在一起。通过重点关注涉及土著埃文尼和纳奈的两个民族志叙述，本文探讨了如何有效地处理、采取行动和部署不确定性，特别是环境不确定性，同时拓宽我们对脆弱性、能动性和复原力的理解。借鉴纳奈人中的哈里奥克和埃文尼人中的尼亚姆宁的离散土著策略，该分析揭示了一条思考不确定性的适应性潜力作为应对快速变化的环境和社会政治条件的模式的途径。
