In Praise of the herd dogs
Before snowmobiles, dogs were a mandatory part
of reindeer herding and they came over with the
herding families from Norway. Herd dogs were a
special breed, Lapinporo koira in Finnish, also called
in English “Lappland reindeer spitz.” The dogs would
gather reindeer for round ups and keep the herds
together when moving. They could stay outside in
the cold and cover 40 to 50 miles a day, often in deep
snow. When the contracts of the first group of Sami
herders were up, Mikkel Nakkala asked that his dog
be paid as well.

At the turn of the last century a dramatic story unfolded
in western Alaska. The heroes of the story were reindeer
and reindeer herders. Together they survived storms at
sea, starvation on mountain passes, and thousand-mile
trips by sled through blizzards. Along the way they
encountered gold miners, missionaries and businessmen.
Some of the herders joined the gold rush and got rich,
and some of the reindeer teamed up with Santa Claus and
became famous. None of this would have taken place
without the Sami.
The Sami are the Indigenous People of Norway,
Sweden, Finland and the Russian Kola Peninsula. They
call their homeland Sápmi (“sahp-mee”) which is also
known as Lappland or Finnmark. They were brought to
Alaska as teachers of reindeer husbandry to the Inuit. The
Inuit have been called “Eskimos,” and the Sami have been
called “Lapps,” but both names are inappropriate.
If you tilt the globe so that the North Pole is in the
center, Sápmi, the homeland of the Sami People, is on the
right, and Alaska, the homeland of the Inupiaq and the
Yup’ik Inuit Peoples is on the left. The Sami, the Înupiaq,
and the Yup’ik have much in common. They share an
animistic spiritual relationship to Nature. Their physical
survival in a tough climate has been based on maintaining
this relationship, as evidenced by the ceremonial traditions
that are still connected with fishing, hunting, gathering
and herding. The images on the equipment they use, the
pictographs on Sami noiade (shaman) drums, the Inuit
dances and the Sami yoiks (Sami musical expression)
express a common worldview that makes relatives of
Arctic Peoples

The Sami people live in four countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. The total population in these four countries is estimated at approx. 80,000, of whom around half live in Norway. Slightly under half of these people talk Sami. I Norway, the Sami people in Norway live in almost all parts of Northern Norway, and in the southern parts of the country in Trøndelag and Femundsmarka in Hedmark.
