EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a display of traditional Sami homes at Skansen, the open-air museum and zoo located on Djurgarden Island in Stockholm, Sweden. Established in 1891 by Artur Hazelius, Skansen aimed to showcase the way of life in different parts of Sweden before the industrial era. The Sami people, also known as the Lapps or Saami, are an indigenous Arctic community inhabiting Sapmi, which encompasses parts of northern Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula of Russia. In this image, we see a collection of Sami dwellings, including tents and wooden structures, which were common in Lappland and other Sami regions. The Sami people have a rich cultural heritage, with traditions centered around reindeer herding, fishing, and hunting. This photograph, taken circa 1900, offers a glimpse into the past and highlights the importance of preserving the history and traditions of indigenous communities like the Sami. Skansen continues to be an essential cultural institution in Sweden, attracting visitors from around the world to learn about the country's diverse history and heritage.
