The Eagle Huntress Page #3

Of course! It can bite like this!

We too want to be eagle hunters.

But we're afraid of eagles.

My father taught me...

so we went to him for advice...

and to ask for his blessing.

Aisholpan's very own eaglet.

This kind of bird is called Ice Feet.

Hard bird to catch.

Aisholpan is going to be

an eagle hunter.

Really?

Yes, some people see it as wrong.

We have been hunting with eagles

from our forefathers.

My father and his father...

taught how to train eagles.

I have trained, teach her.

This is an important task.

Both are young. I will train them.

Can you give your blessing

to Aisholpan?

Aisholpan!

Hey, Aisholpan!

Aisholpan!

This is a hard bird to catch, my child.

Well, my child.

May God help you

pursue the hunter's path.

May God keep you healthy.

May you grow old like me

with yellow teeth.

May no bird escape your hands...

and may no horse

leave you on your journey.

God is great.

I entrust that eagle to you.

This will be a beast catching bird.

Let it get old with you.

Stay safe!

This is not good.

This sets a precedent.

Eagle hunters

will train their daughters...

to ride horses...

then hold a bird.

It is a shame to do so for the bird.

They do not know how to properly

approach the eagle.

The eagle is very picky about people.

It demands respect and courage.

It's not like you hold an eagle

and show off...

and become an eagle hunter.

No way.

Anyhow, she will have to get married...

at one point or another.

When it's warm, we live in gers...

when cold in regular houses.

It's all we've ever known.

Nature is great here.

It is like our mother.

Good morning, dear radio listeners.

Near Ulgii, it will be cloudy

with no precipitation.

Only four weeks left

until the long-awaited eagle festival.

Eagle hunters are busy preparing

their eagles for the event.

Okay.

My child, I will teach you how to train

for the festival.

Our region's people are

fully in preparation for this event.

We plan to present a beautiful show...

for our foreign guests and tourists.

Aisholpan!

Let's go.

I will show you how to call it

from those rocks.

Probably the most important part

of the festival.

Let's go.

Release!

Congratulations! The bird did well.

My child, now you need

to call the bird yourself.

I'll be up there.

Okay, raise your hand and shout!

With calling...

the judges look at...

horse riding style...

eagle's landing...

and eagle flying style.

This process is timed

and every second counts.

- Get ready.

- Okay.

Seeing her bird land beautifully

on her arm...

I realised that she is ready.

Don't hurry. Eat slowly.

Ready for tomorrow?

There will be lots of people tomorrow.

Are you ready?
