(2) YAKUSTK HISTORY --------------------------
______________________
The Yakuts, also known as the Sakha people, migrated to the area during the 13th and 14th centuries from other parts of Siberia. When they arrived they mixed with other indigenous Siberians in the area.[9] The Russian settlement of Yakutsk was founded in 1632 as an ostrog (fortress) by Pyotr Beketov. In 1639, it became the center of a voyevodstvo. The Voyevoda of Yakutsk soon became the most important Russian official in the region and directed expansion to the east and south.
(3)YAKUSTK CULTURE -------------------
______________________
There are several theaters in Yakutsk: the State Russian Drama Theater, named after A. S. Pushkin; the Sakha Theater, named after P. A. Oiyunsky; the Suorun Omoloon Young Spectator's Theater; and the State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, named after D. K. Sivtsev.
There are a number of museums as well: the National Fine Arts Museum of Sakha; the Museum of Local Lore and History, named after E. Yaroslavsky; and the only museums in the world dedicated to the khomus and permafrost.
The annual Ysyakh summer festival takes place the last weekend in June. The traditional Yakut summer solstice festivities include a celebration of the revival and renewal of the nature, fertility and beginning of a new year. It is accompanied by national Yakut rituals and ceremonies, folk dancing, horse racing, Yakut ethnic music and singing, national cuisine, and competitions in traditional Yakut sports.[17]

Elfin Bow performs her original song Daffadilly Down at Thornton Hough Village Club. Filmed by Jim Colvin.
Elfin Bow - Vocals, guitar
Saydyko Fedorova - Nature Vocalisations (Traditional Sakha style)
Oscar South - Bass, live performance technology (iPad apps, Samplr)
Daniel J. Logan - Percussion
Amy Freeman - Backing vocals
Muireann McDermott Long - Backing Vocals
Note from Elfin Bow:
'I always imagined this song to be set in a beautiful woodland, full of healing energy and nature. I love how the ancient Siberian/Sakha tradition of vocalising nature sounds is combined with still-in-development digital performance technology. Oscar sampled Saydyko's nature sounds and 'performs' them with his iPads, improvising here with Saydyko's live sounds. To me, this creates the magical atmosphere I always imagined in this song about love, loss and longing.'

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (Russian: Республика Саха (Якутия), tr. Respublika Sakha (Yakutiya), IPA: [rʲɪsˈpublʲɪkə sɐˈxa jɪˈkutʲɪjə]; Sakha: Саха Өрөспүүбүлүкэтэ, translit. Sakha Öröspüübülükete, IPA: [saˈxa øɾøsˈpyːbylykete], Sakha Republic), simply Sakha (Yakutia) (Russian: Саха (Якутия); Sakha: Саха Сирэ, translit. Sakha Sire), is a federal subject of Russia (a republic). It has a population of 958,528 (2010 Census), consisting mainly of ethnic Yakuts and Russians.
Comprising half the Far Eastern Federal District, it is the largest subnational governing body by area in the world at 3,083,523 square kilometers (1,190,555 sq mi) and the eighth largest territory in the world, if the republics of Russia were compared with other countries. It is larger than Argentina and just smaller than India. Its capital is the city of Yakutsk. It is also well known for its extreme and severe climate, with the lowest temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere being recorded in Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon, and regular winter averages commonly being below −35 °C (−31 °F) in several population centers, including Yakutsk. The hypercontinental tendencies also result in very warm summers for much of the republic.
