The relevance of the study is due to the increasing importance of the ecological consciousness of people in the modern world. In this perspective, the traditional experience of peoples who have preserved their subjective attitude to the natural world today is particularly valuable. The mentality of the indigenous peoples of Yakutia is characterized by an attitude to nature as a living being. The article focuses on the traditional values of the indigenous peoples of Yakutia, reflected in the self-concept of representatives of other peoples of the republic living in the same climatic, geographical and socio-cultural conditions. The sample of the study consists of russians living in Yakutia. It is revealed that the most pronounced categories of their self-concept are personal, professional and family identity. Identity with the natural world is represented in the self-concept of personality, but does not take the leading positions in terms of expression. At the same time, the most frequently mentioned characteristics are personality qualities due to the harsh climatic conditions of Yakutia.
