The article analyzes the main provisions of the Charter on the management of the foreign populations – the main document of tsarist Russia whose provisions were aimed at regulating relations between state and indigenous peoples of the territories of the North, Siberia and the Far East developed by it. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was formed by analytical, dialectical, intersectoral, synthetic, systemic-structural, comparative legal, formal legal and historical legal methods, which assume a comprehensive and unbiased approach to the study of this issue. In conclusion, it is noted that legal norms contained in this document designed to regulate the complex system of relations between tsarist government and the indigenous inhabitants of the Russian outskirts, were quite progressive for their time, in contrast to similar norms existing in other countries.
