Mongolia - Aoluguya forrest ̶ We drove about 15 miles on a snow covered closed dirt road into the Aoluguya forests to find some Yakuts living in tents. Yakuts are a minority in China of traditional Reindeer ( Caribou ) headers with roots from Russia. The total population of Yakut's in China is 237 and, like me, they do not seem to qualify to be members of the official government list of 56 minorities which make up the diverse population of China.
