Kiltinä

Kiltinä recalls the Kildin Sámi and their district on the northern Kola Peninsula. Their communities used several seasonal sites, including the island of Kildin, where a 1623 record describes summer fishing for cod and halibut. A 1608 census of the Munomash pogost recorded forty-two tax-paying men in fifteen dwellings. The name Kildin, originally associated with those who used the island, came to designate the wider group as its settlements moved through the northern country.
