In my geography class at East Stroudsburg University, we were all assigned groups with a different culture for each of us. We are all on an expedition and we are finding out information about our culture. Each culture is so different, unique and so interesting to learn about. My culture is the Yakuts, and I am very excited to blog about it and hopefully teach you all a little something you didn't know! :)

Birds
Where the Yakuts live, there are about 280 species of birds, but because of the weather conditions there, many of them are rare to see and some are even vanishing. One Bird that is common to see is the crane. of the 15 species in the world, 6 of those species are located in Yakutia. Specifically, the Siberian white crane is known to be a sacred bird to Yakuts. The tale that goes along with that is that if one sees are Siberian white crane at least once in their lifetime, they will be happy forever.
