Fortescue did not consider Nivkh a part of Uralo-Siberian, however, Frederik Kortlandt considers Nivkh part of Uralo-Siberian
Uralo-Siberian is a hypothetical language family consisting of Uralic, Yukaghir, Eskimo–Aleut, possibly Nivkh and formerly Chukotko-Kamchatkan. It was proposed in 1998 by Michael Fortescue, an expert in Eskimo–Aleut and Chukotko-Kamchatkan, in his book Language Relations across Bering Strait. In 2011, Fortescue removed Chukotko-Kamchatkan from the proposal.[1]

A lot of these words are from the proto-finnic era and thus can have no relation to nivkh words, but the relationship between these languages is plausible, ive seen compelling lists of cognates, regular sound changes, morphemes etc. better than this (no shade)

Ətək looks a bit similar to Hungarian atya, Northern Sami áhcci and Greenlandic ataata.
