The present - day inhabitants of Kamchatka are mostly Russians, but several thousand indigenous people remain, the largest group being the Koryak, who live in the north.
Praegusel ajal asustavad Kamtšatkat valdavalt venelased, ent alles on ka mõni tuhat põliselanikku, kellest suurim rühm on põhjas elavad korjakid.
