Nomadic life on reindeer land

RT continues its series of reports from one of the most-remote parts of Russia the far eastern republic of Sakha, also known as Yakutia. Roughly the size of India, it's Russia's biggest republic. Despite the vast territories, Yakutia is one of the least-populated areas of the country. Today RT takes a look at life of Yakutian indigenous population, who are mainly reindeer herders.

@Pohjanpoika13 dude, they have nothing to do with tungus.. yakut genetic is 88% N... tungus are pure C3...

[Pohjanpoika13]

@Demcoy1 They are not turks.They are a Tungusic people wich are related to mongolic and turkic people. But the yakuts or sakha are turks. I guess they are the main people of this regoin.

@Kenzofeis It'd even be harder for me to imagine living that way after living in the US suburbs all my life, but our ancesters did live this way and thrived. (My own ancestry traces to the Suomi region of Finland). There is a peace and freedom in living without modern conveniences and technical gadgetry that we've been conditioned to think makes our lives better. What makes life rich is the things money and progress can't provide. I've redefined my own definition of 'sucess' and 'good' life !

@PeaceAmbassador22 Don't encourage the destruction of yet another nature pearl.. People can go on tourism to enough places already, with their money-and-misunderstanding pestilence..

To those who go, try to leave no mark...

@teamhunley Imagine having fresh food and drink with no harmful additives, clothes and utensils that does not introduce toxics into your food and drink, no paper mess, no money worries, no exhaust and dust and all that... a couple of big worries instead of a myriad of big and small.

amazing... god bless those people...

I've watched this a few times and I'm mesmerized by these people and their lifestyle. I realize it is a very harsh place, isolated, and they make little if any money. On top of that they own nothing but their household items/ clothes. And yet, I envy them. Our modern culture in the US has become more of of a struggle and so out of touch with nature I would say these people are richer in the ways that really matter....

Hey Turks these people are also Turks but they do without Muammed,Jesus,Moses etc.They only have shaman.
