Who they are
The Sarikoli Tajiks inhabit the high-altitude valleys of the Pamir Mountains in westernmost China. Culturally and linguistically distinct from their neighbors, they preserve a rich oral tradition in their own Iranian language. Their community identity is marked by the resilience of mountain life and strong family ties, historically living without access to the good news.
