Sedanka

Sedanka belongs to the river country of western Kamchatka, where Itelmen communities lived along streams flowing toward the Sea of Okhotsk. The former settlement of Sedanka-Osedlaya stood on the Pirozhnikova River, near the Tigil. Its inhabitants spoke a local dialect of Itelmen, related to those of neighbouring communities along the west coast. Fishing and hunting tied these settlements to the rivers and shores of the peninsula.
