	The Yakuts
		Yakuts in the north are traditionally semi-nomadic hunters, fishermen and reindeer breeders, while southern Yakuts also engage in animal husbandry, raising horses and cattle.
		The Yakuts are most likely descended from a mixture of peoples from the area of Lake Baykal, Turkish tribes from the steppe and Altay mountains, and indigenous peoples of Siberia, particularly the Evens and Evenks.
		The fighting, together with a variety of European diseased brought by the Russians, led to a decrease in the Yakut population.

		In 1935--59 the self-designation of the Yakuts, saha, was used as an official Russian name for the Dolgans inhabiting the Taimyr National Territory.
		Etnologically the Dolgan society is formed of the Yakut and Tungus clans Dolgan, Dongot, Edjan or Edzhen, and Karanto or Karóntuo.
		The Yakut script is alien to the Dolgans, and therefore unsuitable for use in their schools.

	Yakuts - (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Given the large number of speakers, the Yakut language is considered to be somewhat less endangered than most other regional languages of the Russian Federation.
		Yakuts in the north are historically semi-nomadic hunters, fishermen, yak and reindeer breeders, while southern Yakuts also engage in animal husbandry focusing on horses and cattle.
		Most scholars believe the Yakuts originally migrated from Olkhon and the region of Lake Baikal to the basins of the Middle Lena, the Aldan and Vilyuy rivers, where they mixed with other northern indigenous peoples of Russia such as the Evens and Evenks.

		The Yakuts originate from the area of Lake Baikal, and their ethnogenesis includes Turkish tribes from the steppe and Altay mountains, as well as indigenous peoples of Siberia, particularly the Evens and Evenks.
		Orthodox missionaries were also active in Yakutia, and by the early 1800s, virtually all of the Yakuts were registered as Orthodox Christians, but substantial elements of their folk religion survived.
		Yakut nationalism met with tolerance until 1928, when Stalin launched his ruthless collectivisation campaign.

		To be treated to Yakut hospitality would more than likely involve eating such delights as roast ribs of young horse, braised reindeer and arctic hare, beef tongue, potatoes, rice and even cranberries, kept fresh by using the permanently frozen soil as a freezer.
		Today, the Yakuts have combined their own knowledge of their ice-age domain with modern technology to develop a strain of wheat that is resistant to the cold.
		The religion of the Yakuts is a mixture of Orthodoxy with shamanism and animism.

	Segmentary Hierarchy of Identity:The Case of Yakuts and Evens in Northern Yakutia
		It is said that the main inhabitants of this region consist of the Yakuts and the Evens, and both scholars and inhabitants themselves often underline the importance of the protection of rights of the minor Evens and cohabitation of both ethnic groups.
		The culture of the Yakuts from northern regions is originally different from that of the Yakuts from central Yakutia, and resembles the culture of reindeer herdsmen of Tungus origin.
		It is not unnatural that the Yakuts of the Eveno-Bytantaiskii ulus share some common cultural traits and identity consciousness with people of Tungus origin of the same region, and that they distinguish themselves from the linguistic relatives in central Yakutia under recent socio-cultural conditions.

		In the seventeenth century, Yakutia was contacted and annexed by Russia, and during the eighteenth century, the area served as a transit camp and highway for freight to newly-annexed Siberian lands.
		The feature that most clearly distinguished the Yakut from their neighbors was the fact that their dominant economic activity was the herding of horses and cattle.
		The shaman among the Yakut was considered to be an attendant to the spirits.

	East Asian Studies 210 Notes: The Yakut/Dolgan
		Yakut legends tell of the tribe's expulsion from the Transbaikal area nearly a thousand years ago by the Buryats and other Mongol conquerors.
		Since the birthrate among Yakuts is higher than among Russians, there is also reason to believe that the Yakuts will eventually outnumber the Russians in their homeland--something that is also highly unusual in modern Siberia (so far only the Tuvans outnumber the Russians locally).
		The present language of the Dolgan is closely related to Yakut, and yet, because of significant structural changes induced by the switchover from Ewenki, Dolgan is usually considered a separate language (though some scholars claim it is a dialect of Yakut).

	HUNMAGYAR.ORG - TURAN - YAKUT
		Although in the post-Soviet era Yakuts have not engaged in high levels of ethnic conflict with Russians or with other groups, the Yakut drive for sovereignty at least carries the potential to disrupt both Russia's territorial integrity and its economy.
		Yakuts are now acutely concerned with resisting undue Russian influence on their political, economic, and cultural affairs.
		Yakut sensibilities are particularly inflamed by the fact that, although their region is rich in natural resources, the republic's non-Slav population is notably poor.

		In the northern part of the Yakut territory, a large sector of the population is occupied with fishing.
		Yakuts, living mainly in the north, maintain small herds of reindeer used primarily for transportation and carrying heavy loads.
		Yakuts unwillingly enter the ranks of workers and at the least opportunity, although with certain risk of famine, will set themselves up independently.

		Genetic studies in 1986 of the characteristics of the Yakut people found many with European features - not surprizingly by that time, but also that the majority of the Yakut people had factor B17 in their blood which is only found in one other place.
		Yakuts were encouraged to move south where Manchu armies had cleared out the Russian troops and mercenaries.
		Those Yakut Toyons who were collaborating with the Russians, received the status of members of the Russian hereditary aristocracy as princes (or little-princes).

	Shamanism
		Most commonly the shaman is a man. Among the Yakuts, the Carib tribes, and in Northern California there are female as well as male shamans; and in some cases, e.g., the Yakuts, male shamans have to assume women's dress.
		With the Yakuts the gift of shamanism is not hereditary, but the protecting spirit of a shaman who dies is reincarnated in some member of the same family.
		Thus the song that salved wounds was known to the Greeks, e.g., the Odyssey, and to the Finns, e.g., the epic poem Kalewala.

	Genetic Chaos: October 2006 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Yakuts of northeastern Siberia are a Turkic-speaking population of horse- and cattle-breeders surrounded by Tungusic-speaking reindeer-herders and hunter-gatherers.
		Moreover, the Yakuts are unique among Siberian populations in having a high number of haplotypes shared exclusively with Europeans, suggesting, contrary to the historical record, that occasionally Yakut men took Russian women as wives.
		In this paper we use mtDNA and Y-chromosomal analyses to elucidate whether the Yakut immigration and expansion was accompanied by admixture with the indigenous populations of their new area of settlement or whether the Yakuts displaced the original inhabitants without intermarriage.

	YakutiaToday.Com - Olonkho - Detailed Description of the Yakut heroic epos
		Yakut cult of "fl" shaman (yutugan oyuuna) began to dominate in connection with the collapse of the "rule of steppe horse breeding and appearance of pessimistic mood in religion of Yakuts dragging out a miserable bondage of colonial slavery...".
		In Yakut epos the earth's goddess has sometimes taken the role of shaman woman possessing, instead of tambourine and rattle, a birchen patterned bowl chabychakh and a ritual spoon khamyiakh.
		In Yakut mythology it was the earth's goddess spirit who appeared as the whirlwind.

	THE DOLGANS
		In 1935--59 the self-designation of the Yakuts, saha, was used as an official Russian name for the Dolgans inhabiting the Taimyr National Territory.
		In addition to all the other factors of their ethnic formation, the Dolgans were administratively separated from all the other Yakut-speaking tribes, belonging to the province of Yenisey, not to the Yakut region.
		The Yakut script is alien to the Dolgans, and therefore unsuitable for use in their schools.
