EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the traditional way of life of the Sami People in Norway during the 1930s. The Sami, also known as Lapps or Laplanders, are an indigenous population with a rich cultural heritage that has long been intertwined with the harsh yet beautiful Arctic landscapes of Sapmi, their ancestral homeland spanning parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. In this image, a group of Sami men and their dogs are seen posing proudly with reindeer antlers and furs. Reindeer herding has been a crucial aspect of Sami livelihood for centuries, providing not only food and shelter but also essential materials for their traditional clothing and tools. The dogs, an integral part of their nomadic lifestyle, assisted the Sami in herding and transporting their belongings. The scene exudes a sense of resilience and connection to the land, as the Sami People continue to honor their traditions amidst the changing world. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their history and the importance of preserving the unique cultures and ways of life that have endured through generations.
