The article analyses the children`s drawings of the Bystrinskiye Evens living in Kamchatka, with the aim of investigating the traditional worldview components and representational potential of the regional image. It is based on a retrospective analysis of the previously unpublished archival data of Elizaveta Orlova (1899-1976) - the ethnographer who studied this ethnic enclave in Kamchatka in the first half of the 20th century and collected visual materials on their culture. The article also examines contemporary children`s pictures of the Bystrinskiye Evens, drawing on the materials collected in the museums of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy and villages in the Bystrinskiy region as well as interviews with local residents taken in August 2018. The authors specifically explore the pictures drawn in the 1920s to 1930s as a tool for analysing their traditional culture and give interpretation of the symbolic and factual information encoded in those pictures. Special attention is paid to contemporary children`s pictures of the Bystrinskiye Evens. They conclude that the children`s drawings reflect a revived interest in the traditional culture and crafts among the Bystrinskiye Evens, on the one hand, and may be seen as one of the ways to preserve their own identity in a multi-ethnic environment and as a boundary separating locals from newcomers, on the other
