Annotation: Topicality 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 a dialogical attitude to the natural world today deserves special attention of researchers. Research conducted in this direction is not enough to get a complete picture. The mentality of the indigenous peoples of Yakutia reflects a subjective attitude to nature. Nature is perceived as active, aware, and feeling. The purpose of the research is to analyse the self-concept of the personality of the indigenous peoples of Yakutia from the perspective of the relationship "human-nature". The study was conducted in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in 2018-2019, in which representatives of indigenous peoples took part. The research method used was "Who Am I?" Taking into account the purpose of the study, additional parameter were introduced when interpreting the methodology: identity with the natural world. In addition, the most frequently encountered characteristics of the self-concept were analysed. It is revealed that the leading categories of the self-concept are personal, family and professional identity. These results confirm the results of many researchers who used this technique. Additional parameters used in the interpretation of the method allowed us to obtain the following results. According to the results of the study, the identity with the natural world was revealed.
Keywords: I-concept, climatic and geographical conditions, traditional values, subjective attitude to nature, identity with nature, personal characteristics.
