The relevance of this topic is dictated by the need to preserve and develop the cultural heritage of the peoples of the North as an integral part of the unique cultural landscape of the Arctic and the North. Traditional dances are a cultural phenomenon of spiritual exploration of northern nature. 

The relevance is also due to the rapidly increasing pace of globalization, which wipes out ethnic uniqueness and artistic features of types of folk art, including traditional choreography. The cultural heritage of small indigenous minorities is particularly vulnerable to the process of losing the features of traditional culture. 

The relevance of the topic is also connected with the insufficient development of the study of traditional choreography of small indigenous peoples of the Arctic and the North in the context of the concept of the natural landscape, of which it is an integral part.

Cross-media literature is a type of "cross-genre" literature formed by the evolution of media and the crossing of literary genres. Its emergence has once again made "the end of literature" a focus of academic discussion, and behind it, there is a reflection on the issue of literary outlet. As a sub-field of mass literature production, cross-media literature not only requires people to abandon their inherent prejudices towards popular literature, but also always adheres to the inherent core of "literariness", and pursues the mutual achievement and cooperation of electronic media and language art in artistic form. For ethnic literature with a relatively small population in Heilongjiang, cross-media literature provides new ideas for its development, plays an important role in inheriting ethnic culture, promotes the cultural ontology shift of the natural ecological environment, and constructs the relationship between mainstream ideological discourse and individual modernity discourse.

Key words: cross-media literature, the end of literature, literary nature, Heilongjiang minority literature, film and television.
