Spent two weeks with these people in the Altai Mountains and then had the pleasure of witnessing the famed eagle festival and so much more. These people are so loving, inviting, and are as hard as nails. This video only shows you a fraction of what it's like to be out there with an eagle hunter.

I admire these people. Once upon a time, their ancestors conquered much of the world

[@sirsha6973]

From the Slab Grave Culture of 1300bc to the Mongol Empire of 1300ad, most Eurasian nomads & their descendants came from or went to Mongolia. Most of Asia, most of Europe, & much of North/East Africa were constantly overrun by Altaic-Uralic-Iranic speaking nomads related to or affected by proto-Mongols of Eastern Steppe. Until 15th to 20th centuries AD when Europeans ruled world, these nomads were the dominant force in the three Old World continents.

[@aguskurniawan6253]

They are Kazakh, not Mongolian

[@sirsha6973]

@@aguskurniawan6253 "Mongolian" is a nationality based on legal citizenship acquired by birthright, residence, marriage, or naturalization process. Mongol is an ethnicity defined by native language &/or genealogical records of recent Mongol ancestry. Self-identification may be a factor in Mongolian census. Only 96% of Mongolians are native Mongol, but foreign admixture can't be ruled out. Approximately 4% of Mongolian citizens are ethnic Kazakh or other ethnicity. These ethnic non-Mongols are minorities, but are still full members of the Mongolian population all the same. Their ancestors entered this country from Soviet Central Asia to escape collectivization of the Russian Steppes by Bolsheviks. That was nearly a hundred years ago, and they are still nomads more than the average Mongol. Even the Mongol nomad abandons their steppe for settlements because dzud killed their flock or herd. The roughly 132,000 Mongolian Kazakhs have a higher per capita number of nomads than the 3mil+ Mongols do. More than a third of their people live in Ulaanbaatar alone. Another 1mil+ Mongolians are nomads, so more than a tenth (about 12%) of them are Kazakh.

[@Barnsy40]

Life under mongol rule would have been nice

[@TemuulTK]

@@rustamnargeyev1114 Kazakh people are Mongol people just like Tuva and many other Mongol Turkic speaking tribes. Mongol became bilingual. People are trying to make Mongol Empire and race two separate thing and it never was. We are all Altaic nomadic people united under Mongolia by our great Khan Chingis. It included Kazakh, Khalka, Buryad and all the other Mongol tribes. In Mongolia what we manage to keep our motherland is what we managed to separate when we got out of the Manchurian colony when Chinese took over. The arrival of the Golden Horde Mongols to Egypt resulted in a significant number of Mongols accepting Islam. By the 1330s, three of the four major khanates of the Mongol Empire had become Muslim. These were the Jochi's Ulus, Hulagu's Ulus and Chagatai's Ulus.Turkic language was adopted later by some Mongol tribes like Kazakhs and Tuva. In the Chagatai Khanate, the Turkic language that was adopted by the Mongol elites became known as the Chagatai language, a descendant of Karluk Turkic. Besides in Mongolia no one is pure Mongol or should I say Khalkha as during the communist regime Russians favoured Khalkha which all the other minority ethnic groups in Mongolia registered as Khalkha but the reality is very different. We are all mixed with the rest of Mongol tribes or in your language Turkic Kipchak whatever you think Kazakh or other Turkic speaking ethnic groups are. For instance, my dad is Khalkha but my mum is half Tuvan and Buryat and I am definitely a descendent of Chingis and Mongol.

Admittedly, our Kazakh brothers have the eagle, but all the rest (the animal wrangling and wrestling) has long been done by Mongolians, too. Mongolian nomads are a little more modernized. You'll see a solar panel hooked up to a car battery and a motorbike, maybe.

These Altaian Kazakhs are Mongolian Kazakhs. They are as a refugee migrated from western Xinjiang, China to Mongolia in 19 century. Kazakh refugees fled to Mongolia begins in 1840 with many refugees arriving from areas now Xin Jiang, Western China. Records suggest that in 1905, there were 1370 Kazakh households, increasing to 1,870 households by 1924 (the year Mongolia adopted socialism). By 1989, the Kazakh population grew to approximately 120,000 individuals...Unfortunately, Kazakhstan does not live this lifestyle anymore. Russian Soviets and Tsarists committed genocide on Kazakhs in Kazakhstan and forced them to give up their nomadic lifestyle and brainwashed by Russification. Same thing for Kazakhs in China. Only Mongolians gave them an entire region to live in freedom. Mongolian Kazakhs are not Kazakhstan Kazakhs. They are a Mongolian citizen. It is so true that eagle hunting only exists in Mongolia today.
