context_page_description: Sakha, also known as Yakutia or Yakutiya, and officially known as the Republic of Sakha, is a federal Russian republic.
  It had a population of 958,528 at the 2010 Census, mainly ethnic Sakha and Russians.
  Comprising half the Far Eastern Federal District, it is the largest subnational governing body by area in the world at 3,083,523 square kilometers. Its capital is the city of Yakutsk. It is also known for its extreme and severe climate, with the lowest temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere being recorded in Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon, and regular winter averages commonly being below −35 °C in Yakutsk. The hypercontinental tendencies also result in very warm summers for much of the republic.
  Sakha was first home to hunting-gathering and reindeer herding Tungusic and Paleosiberian peoples such as the Evenks and Yukaghir. Migrating from the area around Lake Baikal, the Turkic Sakha people first settled the middle Lena sometime between the 9th and 16th centuries, likely in several waves, bringing the pastoral economy of Central Asia with them.
