In 2005, UNESCO's Masterpiece Proclamation sparked a resurgence of interest in \u003ci\u003eolonkho\u003c\/i\u003e by recognizing its important role in humanity's oral and intangible heritage. \u003cp\u003eDrawing on her ten years of living in the Russian North, Robin P. Harris documents how the Sakha have used the Masterpiece program to revive \u003ci\u003eolonkho\u003c\/i\u003e and strengthen their cultural identity. Harris's personal relationships with and primary research among Sakha people provide vivid insights into understanding \u003ci\u003eolonkho\u003c\/i\u003e and the attenuation, revitalization, transformation, and sustainability of the Sakha's cultural reemergence. Interdisciplinary in scope, Storytelling in Siberia considers the nature of folklore alongside ethnomusicology, anthropology, comparative literature, and cultural studies to shed light on how marginalized peoples are revitalizing their own intangible cultural heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin P.
