Pomors or Pomory (Russian: помо́ры, lit. 'seasiders', Russian pronunciation: [pɐˈmorɨ]) are an ethnographic group thought to be descended from Russian settlers (primarily from Veliky Novgorod) according to traditional Russian historiography, living on the White Sea coasts and the territory whose southern border lies on a watershed which separates the White Sea river basin from the basins of rivers that flow south.^[2][3] Genetically, though, they are more closely related to indigenous non-Slavic, for example Finnic-speaking, ethnicities of the area and show no affiliations to Novgorod populations.^[4][5][6]
