The Huntress

A Mongolian Kazakh eagle huntress poses with her bird. Etched on her face is fierce determination, pride, and an indomitable spirit borne out of generations of struggling with the harsh elements of nature. While the tradition of eagle hunting was traditionally passed on from father to son, the dearth of practitioners and the lack of interest in the sport from the younger generation has started to change attitudes, and some girls are now being taught the tradition.
