Transcript
This is the land of mountains and roaring wind. The hills turn white in the winter, and the valleys melt in the spring. It is the most beautiful place on Earth.
It is also the home of my people. An ancient culture of hunters and riders, going back hundreds of generations.
This is the kingdom of the eagles; only their shadows touch the Earth. My ancestors learned their secrets and harnessed their power for hunting. This is the knowledge my father passes on to me, like his father before him. Life is beautiful here. My parents teach me their way of life.
My eagle’s name is White Feather. She is the strongest and bravest eagle I know. When she flies, I feel free.
I am Kazakh, and was born of this land. I am a part of these mountatins and they are a part of me.
My name is Alshoipan. And I am an Eagle Huntress.
