This wk, @pixelgrotto & I are reviting #Ofelas (Pathfinder), a 1987 Norwegian film directed by #NilsGaup about a Sami boy fighting off invaders. Great historical adventure film and a respectful depiction (IMO) of an oft misunderstood native culture.

Sami people cover areas in northern Norway, Sweden and Finland, as well as the Russian Kola Peninsula. Many traditionally hunt and fish for their livelihood, but they are best known for their semi-nomadic reindeer herding, even though only around 10% of the current Sami population is involved in the practice today. Goahti constructions have been a central part of this lifestyle, used as a transportable shelter for longer journeys. Domesticated reindeer were used to drag the larger curved poles needed for the structure, which were then covered in peat moss for better thermal insulation. In favour of efficiency, this practice has been thoroughly reduced, due to the inconvenience of transporting the large curved poles. Instead, Sami people often opt for the well-known lavvu tent structures on their travels. Goahtis have also been used as more permanent dwellings and shelters for livestock, up until around the Second World War. Nowadays, Sami people tend to live in ordinary homes, just like the ones found around the rest of the Nordic Regions.
