Lapsuus Muistoja - Early Childhood Memories of life in Petsamo, Lapland (Sapmi)
The Sámi people are great storytellers. The Sámi have an oral tradition of pass their history on to future generations through stories of their life. My father passed his oral history on to me by recording the tales of his life onto cassette tapes. I am now passing on this collection through his voice and video. The stories are spoken in his voice in the Finnish language.
Episode Summary:
In this first episode, my father is born in 1906 in the Kola Peninsula. His mother was a North Sámi, born in Vadso Norway. His father dies on the same night that he is born. His mother returns to Petsamo (now Pechenga). In 1908 Skolt Sámi relocate to live in Petsamo.
My father describes his early days as a young child living through the long, harsh, cold winters of the north, surviving by eating berries preserved during the summer months, and building traps using birch wood to catch rabbits and grouse.
