China's Kazakh Minority Preserve Culture Through Eagle Hunting in Western China

QINGHE, XINJIANG, CHINA - JANUARY 30: Spectators watch as an eagle flies above the crowd after it was released by a Chinese Kazakh eagle hunter, not seen, during a local competition on January 30, 2015 in the mountains of Qinghe County, Xinjiang, northwestern China. The festival, organised by the local hunting community, is part of an effort to promote and grow traditional hunting practices for new generations in the mountainous region of western China that borders Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia. The training and handling of the large birds of prey follows a strict set of ancient rules that Kazakh eagle hunters are preserving for future generations. (Photo by Kevin Frayer/Getty Images)
