Koibal people
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2024) |
The Koibal are one of the subdivisions of the
Baikot, Kandyk, Tarazhak, Kol and Arsh peoples. Most of these people are believed to have been of ancestry more closely related to Samoyedic peoples than to Turkics. Koibals live in the Beysky District of Khakassia.[1]
Prior to the rise of Communism the Koibal were officially Russian Orthodox. However they had retained many
Animist
customs.
