EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of Sami children from Norway, dressed in their traditional attire, circa 1903. The Sami people, also known as the Lapps or Saami, are an indigenous group originating from the Arctic regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Their unique culture and way of life have been shaped by their connection to the land and their reindeer herding practices. The children in the photograph are adorned with various elements of Sami clothing and accessories. The boys wear hide garments, such as leggings and vests, which not only serve as protection against the harsh Arctic climate but also reflect their connection to the reindeer herds. The girls' dresses are made of colorful fabrics and adorned with intricate embroidery and beadwork. The children wear hats with antlers, a symbol of their Sami heritage. The Sami people have a deep respect for nature and the animals they rely on for survival. Reindeer herding is a significant aspect of their culture and economy. In the photograph, the children appear to be playing and interacting with each other, showcasing the close-knit community and resilience of the Sami people. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Sami people, a community that continues to thrive and preserve their unique culture in the face of modernization and globalization. The Sami people's connection to their land, their reindeer herds, and their traditions remains a source of pride and inspiration for generations to come.
