The Circassians (also referred to as Cherkess or Adyghe; Adyghe: Адыгэхэр, romanized: Adıgəxər; Kabardian: Адыгэхэр, romanized: Adıgəxər) are an indigenous ethnic group and nation native to the historical country-region of Circassia in the North Caucasus.[31] As a consequence of the Circassian genocide, which was perpetrated by the Russian Empire in the 19th century during the Russo-Circassian War, most Circassians were exiled from their homeland in Circassia to modern-day Turkey and the rest of the Middle East, where the majority of them are concentrated today.[32] The Circassian languages, a subdivision of the Northwest Caucasian language family, are the shared ancestral languages of the Circassian people.[33] Islam has been the dominant religion among the Circassian populace since its injection into the region in the 17th century through the influence of the Ottoman Empire, although Christianity and the Circassian indigenous faith have maintained themselves as a significant minority.[34] Circassia has been subject to repeated invasions since ancient times; its isolated terrain coupled with the strategic value that external societies have placed on the region have shaped the Circassian national identity to a large extent.

Until the 20th century, the majority of Circassians spoke the Circassian languages, with two main dialects (West Circassian and East Circassian) and numerous sub-dialects. The Circassian languages have been largely sidelined in usage due to assimilation policies and intermarriages with other ethnic groups. Today, approximately 40–50 percent of Circassians speak the Circassian languages; the remaining majority speak Turkish, Russian, English, Arabic and Hebrew. The majority of Circassians are Sunni Muslims.[34]

The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization estimated in the early 1990s that there are as many as 3.7 million Circassians in diaspora (in over 50 countries)[35] outside of the titular Circassian republics (meaning that only one in seven ethnic Circassians lives in their homeland) and that, of these 3.7 million, more than 2 million live in Turkey.[35] An additional 700,000 live in Russia; over 300,000 reside in the countries of the Levant (mostly in Jordan and in Syria with a sizable population in Israel) as well as in Iraq; some 50,000 live in Western Europe and in the United States.

The term "Circassian" traditionally includes the twelve historic tribes of Circassia: the Abzakh, the Besleney, the Bzhedugh, the Hatuqway, the Kabarday, the Mamkhegh, the Natukhaj, the Shapsugh, the Chemirgoy, the Ubykh, the Yegeruqway and the Zhaney.[36] Each star on the Circassian national flag represents one tribe.

Historical Circassia has been divided by Soviet and Russian administrations into the modern-day republics of Adygea, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia and Krasnodar Krai as well as southwestern parts of Stavropol Krai. Accordingly, Circassians have also been designated as the following: Adygeans in Adygea, Kabardians in Kabardino-Balkaria, Cherkess in Karachay-Cherkessia and Shapsug in Krasnodar Krai, although all four are essentially the same people. Today, approximately 800,000 Circassians remain in historical Circassia while 4,500,000 live elsewhere

The choreography performed by the Ensemble of Kabardinka is a collection of various Circassian dance figures and influenced by the Western Adyghe tribes Ubykh, Natukhay and Shapsug who once used to populate the Black Sea coasts of the Northwest Caucasus for thousands of years with their Abkhazian cousins before they were completely exiled from the region by Russian Empire in 1864. They lost more than three quarters of their populations during the Circassian Exile. The aggression and the later actions against the native people of the region by Russian Empire are considered the first modern systematic genocide by many historians and it was a role model for later genocides committed by different countries around the world although the only country officially recognizing it is Georgia. Today most of Circassians live outside of their native homelands scattering around the world. As a result Ubykh language went completely extinct in 90's and other ethnic groups/languages are waiting for the same fate.

There are many ancient elements during the performance reflecting some of the very old rituals of Circassians. The Circassian Circle is an important symbol and its origin goes back to the old Pagan culture. There were relics or sometimes a tree representing the Deities in the center of the circle in earlier times. Circassians would dance around the relics singing songs and hymns specific to the ritual's theme like funeral, wedding, harvesting, holy days, etc. The dancing area was accepted as a holy place and no one could enter without permission. The Hatiyago/Ceguako (the solo dancer who has a ritualistic stick) is portrayed as one of its earliest forms and has complete control over the ceremony like an ancient priest. Every dancer/member of the community should obey the Hatiyago's directives to take place the ceremony properly.

Nowadays this character has significantly changed from its origins mostly because of Islamic influences, although is still an important part of Circassian weddings. Today they generally act as a supervisor/organizer in the weddings, but in ancient times their missions were much more than that. They supervised important ceremonies like weddings as it's today but also they had a vital mission to represent and carry anything related to Circassian society, like traditions, music, songs, mythology and history to the next generations. They were the living memories of Circassians who had only oral lore.

147th anniversary of Circassian genocide marked today

147th anniversary of Russia`s genocide of Circassian people is marked today. On May 21, 1864 Russian troops destroyed most part of Circassian fighting for freedom and their kindred Ubykh people.

Moscow later named Krasnaya Polyana the site where the fights were taking place.

After the fights, the empire troops burnt down Circassian villages and exiled the 2467 families that survived to Turkey. Hundreds of children, women and old people died on the way to Turkey.

After 1864, during a century and a half, The Circassian people had been urging Moscow and the world society to recognize the genocide but no results followed.

Only Georgia`s parliament adopted the historic decision on Friday (May 20). Georgian lawmakers unanimously supported the document on Genocide of Small Caucasian Nation.

According to the resolution, the Georgian lawmakers also urge for granting millions of Circassians refugee status.

Representatives of Circassian Diasporas were also attending the historic voting in Georgia`s parliament yesterday.

Georgian MPs along with experts had been working on researching the facts of genocide during one year.

The document adopted by the Georgian parliament will be sent to parliaments of other countries as well.
