The Chelkans emerged from the mixing of Turkic clans with Ket, Samoyed, and other native Siberian groups. This was a process that began as early as the period when the Yenisei Kygyrz dominated the region. The Mongols then ruled over the region and people from the 13th to 18th centuries. The Dzungars than briefly controlled the area until the Chelkans (along with other Altaians) submitted to the Russians.<ref>{{Cite book|last=|first=|title=Encyclopedia of the world's minorities|date=2005|publisher=Routledge|others=Skutsch, Carl., Ryle, Martin (J.
