How Do Modern Izhorians Live — Indigenous People Of The Baltic Coast

Ingris, Inkeri or, as the Russians called them, Izhors, are the indigenous population of the lands between the Gulf of Finland and Ladoga. The Izhorians are a small Finno-Ugric people, the original indigenous population of the section of Baltic coast between Narva in Estonia and St. Petersburg. Only a few hundred people now remain of this once powerful tribe, the harsh disposition of which the Pope wrote in a papal bull in the 12th century, when several Latin missionaries who tried to convert these pagans to their faith were brutally murdered.
