This formerly nomadic country that sprawls nearly 2,000
miles across the middle of Central Asia is rich in culture,
tradition and spirituality that dates back thousands of
years. Until recently, it was little known outside the
region because it lost much of its identity and heritage
under the 70-year domination by the Soviet Union, and
before that, the Russian Empire. Since independence
in 1991, Kazakhstan is reestablishing its own identity
and making itself felt in world politics and the global
marketplace. Kazakhs who had been taught under the
Soviet system that their nomadic heritage was essentially
worthless are rediscovering their roots and an inherent
richness that many of that generation had not known existed.
