The Eagle Huntress Page #4

Everything will be good.

Are you full now?

Don't be angry. Are you full now?

Don't be angry.

Don't make such noises.

You have an important

festival tomorrow.

You might not be able to fly

if you eat too much.

Do you want me to paint your nails?

If you do not mind.

When do you leave?

Tomorrow.

Will there be any other girls?

No. Just me.

Mostly older men.

Okay, my child, we have to leave soon.

It is a long ride.

Come, my eagle, come, your eagle.

I'm worried for her.

This is her first festival.

You need to take better care

of your hair.

Be the head of this home

while I am away, okay?

She decided on her own

to be an eagle hunter.

And I believe

it's a woman's right to choose.

There are so many strong

eagle hunter men.

All I wish for is her

safety and wellbeing.

Is this okay? Not too tight?

Be careful when you ride.

Let me look.

We should have cut it shorter.

It's okay, it's girl's hair!

In the name of God.

All the best, stay safe!

Okay, good luck!

Let's let the horses drink.

They must be tired.

- Are you tired?

- Nah.

God willing, we are almost there.

Sometimes I worry...

people might think it's strange...

because she does something

that men usually do.

But she shows extraordinary strength...

regardless of her gender.

Good morning, dear radio listeners.

The day of the eagle festival is upon us!

We are all hugely excited.

Around 70 eagle hunters

from all over the region...

are currently making their way

to the festival ground.

You see, my child.

There it is.

People are here already.

Peace be with you,

dear festival participants.

Our people have found

their fortune in the sky.

Our men have found

a way to stand out...

and find happiness

through the centuries.

Welcome to the eagle festival.

What a beauty it is to see

a bird in the sky...

a fox on the land...

and a fast horse.

We have an 80-year-old

eagle-hunter among us.

Do not be afraid, okay?

She is a young girl.

Contestants...

take your places please.

People come from all over the world.

The winner must be the best...

among 70 great eagle hunters.

Time to start!

Here are the eagle hunters...

who have made us

known to the world.

They are the ones

who have cared for eagles...

passed down to us

from our great ancestors.

Please give your applause...

to these highly honoured

eagle hunters.

Peace be upon you.

Let Ongarbay come forward.

They begin with judging

the hunter's outfit.

10-10-10-8.

They assess the horse...

the clothes and equipment.

6-8-10-10.

Next is Ardak...

son of a famed eagle

hunter from Altai.

10-10-10-10.

Really nice! Great!

Next, we have an eagle

hunter from Altai.

Let's go.

Stand over here.
