Hello, my name is Togtokhai. I am a forty-year-old Mongolian woman who lives in a traditional yurt on the Steppe. Growing up, I learned to weave traditional clothing from my mother and grandmother. They taught me how to sew and embroider using natural dyes made from plants found on the steppe.
I am married with two children, both of whom are now adults. My husband is a herder who cares for our sheep, goats, and horses. We work together to maintain our way of life on the steppe.
Despite living in such a remote area, I am proud to be part of a community that has been living off the land for generations. Our traditions and culture are important to us, and we take great pride in preserving them for future generations.
