Olonkho, the epic narrative and song tradition of Siberia's Sakha
people, declined to the brink of extinction during the Soviet era.
In 2005, UNESCO's Masterpiece Proclamation sparked a resurgence of
interest in olonkho by recognizing its important role in humanity's
oral and intangible heritage. Drawing on her ten years of living in
the Russian North, Robin P. Harris documents how the Sakha have
used the Masterpiece program to revive olonkho and strengthen their
cultural identity. Harris's personal relationships with and primary
research among Sakha people provide vivid insights into
understanding olonkho and the attenuation, revitalization,
transformation, and sustainability of the Sakha's cultural
reemergence. Interdisciplinary in scope, Storytelling in Siberia
considers the nature of folklore alongside ethnomusicology,
anthropology, comparative literature, and cultural studies to shed
light on how marginalized peoples are revitalizing their own
intangible cultural heritage.
