The article considers the relevance of strengthening the mechanisms for protecting the rights of small indigenous peoples in connection with the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the experience in protecting their rights on the example of the activities of the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug — Ugra. The article analyzes the experience of the subjects of the Russian Federation on the formation of the institution of commissioners for the rights of indigenous peoples. It offers some legal forms of interaction of regional human rights institutions and commissioners for human rights, which operate on the territory of indigenous peoples, and the establishment of a permanent collegiate body of the Federal Commissioner for human rights, who will act in the interests of the rights of indigenous peoples of Russia and contribute to the development of regional human rights institutions.
