The Sakha people, also known as the Yakuts, are an indigenous group primarily residing in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in northeastern Siberia, Russia. They speak the Sakha language, which belongs to the Turkic language family. The Sakha culture is rich in traditions, including unique music, dance, and crafts, often influenced by their harsh Arctic environment.
Traditionally, the Sakha people are known for their reindeer herding, hunting, and fishing practices. They have adapted to the extreme cold of their region, utilizing natural resources for shelter and clothing. The Sakha celebrate various festivals that reflect their connection to nature and their ancestral heritage.
