EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the Sami people, an indigenous community residing primarily in the Arctic regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. The image, taken circa 1910s, depicts a Sami couple outside their traditional tent, or 'lavvo,' in the snow-covered Lapland landscape. The couple is dressed in their traditional attire, which includes intricately designed felt costumes, adorned with antlers, furs, and intricate beadwork. The woman wears a long, flowing dress with a high waistline and voluminous sleeves, while the man dons a hat with a distinctive bell-shaped top and a long, fur-trimmed coat. The Sami people have a rich cultural heritage, with a deep connection to their land and its natural resources. They have traditionally relied on reindeer herding, fishing, and hunting for their livelihood. The Sami tent, or lavvo, is a portable dwelling made of wooden poles and covered with reindeer hides. It is designed to be easily transported, allowing the Sami people to move with their herds throughout the year. The couple in this photograph appears to be preparing for a journey, with a sled and supplies visible in the background. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the traditional way of life of the Sami people in the early 20th century. Despite the passing of time, the Sami culture continues to thrive, with many communities maintaining their unique traditions and customs.
