		This said, Buryat, and Buryatia, seems most at risk due to environmental and economic factors: Lake Baikal faces serious environmental challenges, which include economic challenges; persistent unemployment and poverty remain severe problems; and finally, stresses on the public health system, such as high disease rates, continue to pose an obstacle to economic development.
		The Buryat people have had several active cultural organizations since 1991, although only the All Buryat Association for the Development of Culture appeared still active during this decade.

		Buryat shamanism is renowned for its ancient traditions and legendary shamans through the works of Eliade, Czaplicka, Harva, Sanjeev, and others.
		Buryat and Mongolian shamanism are essentially one and the same, the distinction of Mongol and Buryat comes late in history, for until the latter part of the 17th century present day Buryatia and adjacent Buryat Mongol regions were an integral part of the Mongolian Empire and had been since the time of Chinggis Khan.

	Buryat Traditional Music
		Having traveled a bit in Russia, I had a vague idea who the Buryats were, but until I had spent some time with the visiting artists, I had little concept of the wealth of Buryat traditions or of the great transformations these traditions have undergone since the collapse of the Soviet system.
		While Soviet policy dictated the proper use of folk forms in public institutions and dominated professional artistic expression in urban areas, the traditions of the Buryats were quietly maintained in remote corners of the republic.
		Naturally, not all young Buryats are merrily leaving their apartments for felt tents, but at least symbolically, many are seeking the nomadic road forward by walking the paths of their ancestors.

	Victor M. Fic Book Reviews - JGB volume 4
		The Tsarist government declared the Buryats settled along the Uda River subjects of Russia in 1648, and by 1660 the entire area around the eastern shores of Lake Baikal was under Russian control, Buryatia included.
		The second element in the Tsarist policy towards the Buryats at this stage was to strengthen the evolution of their identity by enabling them to develop their own ecclesiastical hierarchy free of foreign control, but under close supervision of the Russian authorities.
		While Raguzinski prohibited the Buryat lamas from visiting Buddhist centers in Urga, Tibet, Mongolia, and Manchuria, the appointment of a Tibetan lama went a long way to convince the lamas that St. Petersburg was not anti-Buddhist.

	village voice > music > Roswell Rudd & the Mongolian Buryat Band by Francis Davis
		Rudd's latest collaboration is with the young, conservatory-trained Mongolian singer Badma Khanda and her five-member ensemble, which includes a throat singer, horse-head fiddle and bass, and instruments similar to flute, dulcimer, and zither.
		Twinning with Khanda, matching the throat singer's gargle with growled multiphonics, or just floating over the strings, Rudd throws himself into everything with such relish you might be hard-pressed to tell which tunes are traditional and which are his without glancing at the credits.
		The Buryats meet him halfway, occasionally recalling Django or country swing, even boogie-woogie on the delirious title track, where Khanda beats it eight-to-the-bar and Rudd quotes "Buttons and Bows." East is East, and West is West, and wherever the four winds blow—that's not just a quote, it's his philosophy.
