Sami reindeer herders, their dogs, and their Lavvo.

near Langfjorden, Sandnes, winter of 1897.

An early ish text that went with the image (translated) says:

"Mountain Finn tent on the South-Varanger-Plateau. In the old days, the mountain Finns took the family on wanderings with the reindeer herd. Now, on the other hand, most of them have permanent homes, where the women and children stay all year round, while only the household head and his servants and dogs follow the reindeer herd. Most of the mountain Finns who spend the winter in South-Varanger have their home in Polmak."

Going through the North Sámi lessons with my grandmother really helped, so now I have the motivation to do the next assignment.
