I was blown away by the obvious bond and harmonious relationship between the eagle and a young Kazakh woman hunting with her eagle in Mongolia. In a male-dominated activity, this young woman demonstrates her power and determination while working to keep a 4000-year-old tradition alive and connect to her cultural roots.
