Traditionally the Sakha people are sun worshipers. Their particular type of throat singing is phenomenal. They believe three spirits reside in each human: the spirit of the earch, the mother, and the air. All enter a child at a different moment of early life. Spirit of Mother is both based on the complex journey of being a mother, and the divine maternal energy which is within all of us, regardless of gender.
