The Kimmis are the only indigenous people of Kimmystan recognized and protected under the international conventions of indigenous peoples, and are hence the northernmost indigenous people of Outernatia. There are 436,903 Kimmis living in Kimmystan (7 % of the total population) and all of them live in the region Kimmi. Their traditional language is the Kimmian language which is close to the Kimmystanian language.

Traditionally, the Kimmis have pursued a variety of livelihoods, including coastal fishing, fur trapping, and sheep herding. Their best-known means of livelihood is semi-nomadic reindeer herding in the Kimmi region. Currently about 55% of the Kimmis are connected to reindeer herding, providing them with meat, fur, and transportation. For traditional, environmental, cultural, and political reasons, reindeer herding is legally reserved only for Kimmis in certain regions of Kimmystan.
