Description

The Mongol cultural group contains several sub-groups (the Khalka, Buriat, and Oirats). While these subgroups exhibit commonalities, they are unique communities with nuanced distinctions and are located in different geographic regions.This entry focuses specifically on the Khalkha Mongols of the Narobanchin Temple Territory, in western Outer Mongolia (ca. 1920) before the influx of Communism and Japanese occupation.
