The article examines the Verkhoyansk epic tradition on the example of the repertoire of the 20th century storyteller Daria Andreevna Tomskaya. The aim of the article is to study the genre originality of Olonkho, the richness of the epic repertoire, the peculiarities of the performance of the storyteller D.A. Tomskaya in the context of the Verkhoyansk epic tradition. To achieve these objectives the researchers perform analysis of two Olonkho texts “Erbeger Erchimneekh Eliter Bergen” and “Khaan Ilbisteen bukhatyyr” from the repertoire of D.A. Tomskaya. Olonkho of D.A. Tomskaya has characteristics of an epic tradition of the Northern Yakuts, more in vocabulary than in story-shaped system, but a genre of Olonkho signs that the narrator remains primarily within the framework of general Yakut epic tradition.
