EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Laplanders, or Sami people, in their traditional attire as they go about their farming duties in the rugged and picturesque landscape of Norway. Dating back to the pre-Christian era, the Sami people are the indigenous inhabitants of the Arctic regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Their unique culture and way of life have been shaped by the harsh climate and the need to adapt to the extreme conditions of the region. The Laplanders in this image are dressed in their full furs, which served as both insulation against the cold and protection against the elements. The intricately designed garments, made from reindeer hides, are a testament to the skill and resourcefulness of these hardy farmers. The man in the foreground is smoking a pipe, a common practice among the Sami people, who have a rich tradition of tobacco use. The pipe, made from birch or willow, was an essential tool for the Sami people, providing warmth and relaxation in the harsh Arctic climate. The photograph also showcases the rugged terrain of the Lappland region, with its rolling hills, rocky outcrops, and dense forests. The landscape, dotted with small farms and homesteads, has remained largely unchanged for centuries, providing a sense of timelessness and continuity. The Laplanders in this photograph are not only farmers but also herders, hunters, and fishermen, living in harmony with nature and relying on its bounty for their survival. This photograph is a precious record of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the history and traditions of the Sami people and their unique way of life in the Lapland region of Norway.
