Culture, customs, a way of life, language were perfected as precious stones during centuries. As multinational region our culture is mixture of cultures different nationalities.

Do you know some poems about your Motherland?
Who can retell these poems?
P10:
Но в жизни тот лишь побеждает,
Кто помнит край, в котором рос,
Кто помнит предков все заветы,
Кто смел и яростен в борьбе.
Иди! Другой дороги нету,
Лишь сам не изменяй себе!(Н.К. Оегир, эвенкийский поэт)
Таежные мы с детства видим тайны,
Но редко кто их в жизни разгадал.
Поселок Багдарин необычайный
Зачем-то у горы у Белой встал.Нередко уезжаем мы из дома,
Возможно, с пользой, а бывает зря.
Как будто бы косынкой машет долго
Нам на прощанье Белая гора.(П. Лосев)
