Caption

Yurt Kubalakh, 1927. From a collection of travel sketches created in the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic during the 1920s-1930s. The Yakut ASSR--informally referred to as Yakutiya and known today as the Sakha Republic--covered a large region in eastern Siberia. It is the historical home of the Yakut (Sakha) people, a Turkic ethnic group who arrived in the region around the 13th century and who still make up almost half of its population. The sketches were created during an expedition to study the forces of production in Yakutiya. Drawings depict tundra landscapes (locally known as sendukha), northern villages, and Yakut dwellings.
