 As with many Chukotkan villages, there are strong efforts made to keep the traditions of the indigenous peoples alive and, although Meynypilgyno has modern facilities in the shape of a hospital, post office, high school and daycare centre, there is also a traditional Chukchi ensemble and cultural centre as well as an Orthodox chapel.In addition, residents still erect Yarangas along the coast in the summer.There is a museum in the village established by Salikh Sharafovich Ziabbarov, dedicated to local ethnography and culture.
