The Kazakh people of Mongolia hunt using Golden Eagles, its believed they are the only ones to do so across the globe. There are about 400 still doing so. It is mainly a tradition followed by boys but there is a girl of 13 carrying on the tradition.
Her partaking in a 2,000 year old male tradition highlight the fact that Mongolia is at a bit of a cross roads. their cultures are changing as females do not traditionally do such things however if females don't partake will it die out completely is it better to maintain a tradition and allow alterations rather than lose it?
