Probably a long shot here but I'm looking for any information about Yakutia and Sakha culture prior to the arrival of the Russians in the 17th century. Unfortunately any such resources would probably be in Russian which I don't speak; I do have google translate for that but it's finding materials in the first place that's the problem.
Thanks in advance!
Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably, OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted a non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
