Kiun, you are a true pioneer and an exceptional cultural ambassador for the Yakutian people. Your work documenting and sharing life in Yakutia with the world is a priceless contribution to preserving and promoting this people's unique cultural heritage. You have skillfully used your platform to show people Yakutia's beauty, resilience, and cultural richness around the globe. Your previous videos, and this one about the Yhyakh Festival, are the perfect examples of how you present the complexity and richness of your people's traditions. With a deep sense of joy, I traversed the fascinating landscape of the Yhyakh Festival, a true kaleidoscope of captivating traditions and events that open your way to a universe full of beauty and skill. I let my soul be illuminated by the hope that the "Aal Luuk Mas" prayer ritual brings a beacon of light in the night like a guiding star spreading the promise of a prosperous future. I bowed to the spectacle of courage and strength revealed by the "khapsagai" competitions, where each fighter is a sculptor of victory, their fluid movements reminding me of the resilience of a tree standing proud in the face of a storm. I was charmed by the spectacle offered by the "tyusyur" horse races, where the skill and speed of the riders seem to dance with the wind in a wave of bravura and competitive spirit that rivals the lightning on a summer night. And, of course, let's not forget the "ohuokhai" dance, a vibrant celebration of unity and equality. This circle dance is reminiscent of other similar ceremonies around the world, such as the Sufi "sema" dance practised by whirling dervishes, which aims to transmit divine energy from God to people, or the traditional "hora" dance from Romania and Israel, where the celebration is an ode to joy, a celebration within a festival or a party. These dances, similar in different cultures of the world, have their roots in a transcendental depth that touches the human essence and universal communion, the unity and cycle of life, and "ohuokhai", like them, brings people together and helps them feel connected to nature, to their fellow human beings and to the universal spirit. In the end, I realized with a sense of humility that the Yhyakh Festival is a symphony of life, where each event is a precious note that makes up the harmonious melody of unity and beauty of the Yakutian culture. With each step, I increasingly enjoyed this unique journey and felt privileged to witness this vibrant spectacle of tradition and community. By sharing these moments with the world, Kiun, you not only bring minority cultures to light but also show the unity in diversity of humanity. Your work to preserve and promote Yakutian culture is commendable, and we thank you for offering us such valuable insight into this unique world.

Hello Kiun! I love this so much! I'm Canadian and Indigenous to North America. I am Cree and Mohawk. I want to point out the similarities between Native American and Siberian/Yakutsk culture! It's so amazing to see how in my culture, we also have a similar dance called the "Round Dance" where we all dance in a circle at a Powwow! Love the traditional clothing too! We also hold sacred to the summer months because it is also very harsh in Northern Canada during the winter. Can't wait to see more!

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Summer solstice is also celebrated in various European cultures, and Sakha are Turkic. Even though similar doesn’t mean the same all 1 nation and indigenous peoples of America once migrated from Siberia. You should check out the indigenous Sámi people of Scandinavia northern Europe. They too migrated from Siberia during the last Ice Age and are distant related to you, tho “white”. Blonde hair actually originated in Siberia and was brought to Europe by the Proto Fins, their ancestors.

[@makssakha8092]

@@kilipaki87oritahiti The Saami, and indeed all the Finno-Ugric peoples, cannot be related to the Indians of both Americas! since the Finno-Ugric peoples have the main haplogroup N, and the Indians have the haplogroup Q, haplogroup N was not found in America, except for the Eskimos, who came there very late times. When haplogroup N appeared and still lived in China, having reached a maximum from Yunnan province to Northern China, the owners of haplogroup Q were already passing through the Bering Strait connected to the mainland from Siberia to America! and by the time haplogroup N left China, the passer through the Bering Strait had already been closed, so the owners of haplogroup N went north and towards the Ural mountains, and so on until Scandinavia itself.

[@brandicunningham7243]

Very interesting! Thank you for your insight. A good majority of my European ancestry is from Finland and Sweden from my mothers side! I knew of the Saami, but had no idea they were of a different haplogroup! I'm ethnically Metis, but I am classified as Status Indigenous person. In a way, we are all connected regardless of where we are now which I find beautiful!@@kilipaki87oritahiti

Also, the Yakut language consists of 30% Mongolian words, practically from all Turkic peoples, we have the largest layer of Mongoloisms in the language!

Приезжайте в гости в Якутию... Саха многие ездят к вам а вы Казахи мало ездите к нам.... Мы с женой два раза были в Казахстане, нам за 50 лет. В Турции, в Италии, в Тайланде, во время путешествий всегда разговариваю с казахами, как с друзьями. 😅

[@user-xl4hk5il6h]

I like the culture, nature and even the festival. It is celebrated in a grand way. Love from INDIA❤

[@patriciabach415]

C'est splendide. Vos coutumes me rappellent celles des Natives en Amérique du Nord, la danse en cercle et la prière au lever du soleil. Une immense gratitude.

Thank you so much Kiun. I love seeing Yakutia in summer and especially the welcoming of the sun. You look so beautiful in enjoyment and I see a lot of joy in people's faces.

Loved watching this! Also very similar to the native cultures of North America which originally migrated from Siberia

I am of Native Mexican descent, people of Yakutia are definitely our cousins ❤.

[@dwjr5129]

What a wonderful celebration and such a rich culture! Many lessons for the rest of us to be learned from a people who come together and care for one another as well as celebrating the environment they live in. And I must say, Kuin B, you are absolutely beautiful in your traditional dress!

Thank you so much 😊

What a beautiful culture. How cool that it’s been preserved through time

I was thinking, respectfully, how amazing her English is, that she lives thousands of miles away, so that I, a Brit, can understand her is truly a blessing 🩵 language has amazing possibilities to bridge gaps between cultures, and to help understandings, I’m learning Welsh, Polish and Russian (very slowly!) 💛

[@KiunB]

Thank you 🙏

[@F0re5tMan]

A lot of your culture honestly reminds me of the Mongolian Empire (and I mean this in a good way). From the outfits, to the spiritual beliefs, even your close ties with horses. I admit, I wasn't much into religion or spiritualism as a kid, but now, I honestly wish I could be a part of a deeply-spiritual culture like this.

[@Chaldon-hl6yk]

Russia is the legal successor of Genghis Khan's empire. The creator of Russia, Ivan the Terrible was the blood grandson of Genghis Khan. And Genghis Khan was born on the territory of present-day Russia.

[@hoolidii]

Yeah as a mongolian I would say their culture felt very close to me. And I have seen more videos comparing their language with other turkic languages. And some of the words were the same. When the 2 languages did not match atleast one of them were the match with mongolian word. (Not all the time) but some words would just have different meaning but the similar word. I would say their dance and clothing is also similar. Specially with buriad mongol ppl.

[@NatalieVasilyev]

In fact, one-third of the Sakha language consists of Mongolian words.

[@F0re5tMan]

I love and have cared for many horses over the years, so it was a little hard to think of them as anything but a 'pet' for a moment, so I love how you explained how much horses mean to you and your culture as well, and a completely different way of living and thinking than I had ever thought about. Thank you for continuing to educate and share your culture and life with the rest of us

[@fernandoherranz4095]

You are right- it is hard to think of horses differently than how we were raised to think of them. Kiun, the way you explained how important horses are to your people was beautiful. Thank you.

[@630moonchild]

A festival of gratitude.

[@lyudmilagrigoryeva4682]

Watching these videos by you Kyun make me feel soooo nostalgic for my home and my people. I haven't been home in 7 years and I am not sure when I can go back, but I am looking forward to that day and I hope it comes soon. Thank you for showing the world how truly unique our home is

It mesmerizes me how we all are so different yet connected, The game known as Hapsagai is also a very popular game known with a different name in India. Hapsagai is called KABADDI in India especially the Punjab state of India and it has been a popular means of entertainment even in the ancient times and just like Yakutia a big amount of money is given to the kabaddi match winner🤍

[@KiunB]

Oh wow 😍

Много чего в России есть, там живыт почти 200 сотен народностей. Просто по центральному телекку не показывают. Но организуются разные фестивали на разных уровнях. ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Национальный_состав_России А ютуб позволяет простым людям быть телевизором для других.

Reminds me of a verse from a song where I live. Little cottage near a big lake The sun is shining it would be a shame to waste Warm days won't last They come and go fast Bonfire in the moonlight With people I've known all of my life That's where I belong I'm a northern girl wild and free I've got four strong winds to carry me. I've been east and west and all around the world But I'll always be a northern girl
