Omogoy Baai

Omogoy Baai is described as one of the first ancestors of the Yakut people, characterized as a materially affluent patriarch (baai) who lived on the upper Lena River. He resided in an earthen hut without a stove or chimney and was unaware of blacksmithing or spiritually potent music. Upon the advice of a shaman, he traveled to the Tuymaada Valley where the gods Ieyehsit and Aiyyhyt assisted him in locating a mare and a pregnant cow, an event interpreted as a folk memory of livestock domestication.
