One theory is that they were formed as an ethnic unit from various elements that settled in their present territory during the 13th and 14th centuries. By tradition they are a nomadic pastoral people, whose stock consists of cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and a few camels. In their traditional social organization, they were separated into noble and common strata; they also kept a few slaves. They traced descent through the paternal line, living in patrilineal families grouped into kin villages, clans, and clan confederations. The more permanently organized confederations were ruled by princely dynasties. In their religious life the Buryat had an intricate combination of shamanist and Buddhist traits. The eastern Buryat, under the closer influence of the Khalkha Mongols, were more thoroughly Buddhist in their rite than were the western. During tsarist times some became Orthodox Christians. Yakut, also called SAKHA, is one of the major peoples of eastern Siberia, numbering some 380,000 in the late 20th century. In the 17th century they inhabited a limited area on the middle Lena River, but in modern times they have expanded throughout Sakha republic (Yakutia) in far northeastern Russia. They speak a Turkic language and, in their own language, are known as the Sakha. The Yakut are thought to be an admixture of migrants from the Lake Baikal region with the aborigines of the Lena--probably mostly Evenk, who have contributed much to their culture. Other evidence, however, points to a southern ancestry related to the Turkic-speaking tribes of the steppe and the Altai Mountains.
