Extract

It is one of the quirks of Arctic studies that although the society and culture of the nomadic Lapps (Sámi) have been reasonably thoroughly documented by the field research of anthropologists, the life and social organization of the settled population of the same area has been little studied, and is generally not accessible to the scholarly world outside Fennoscandia. In this article I shall endeavpur to redress this imbalance to some extent, by discussing some aspects of the culture of the Finnish-speaking population of northern Torne Lappmark, paying particular attention to their relations with their reindeer-herding neighbours.
