Today we open door 23, if you will learn more about the samis we will see..

Today will be a hymn for the Samis.

We are all borrowing the free land of the mountains. The natives understand that better then anyone of us. In the samis life the reindeer is the centre. The need of the reindeer every time comes first. A ordinary day for reindeer herd starts early with lunch in the nature and ends late evening. After midsummer it is time for the calf’s to get marked.  Late summer it is time for the reindeer slaughter. In early September when all is prepared the slaughter can begin. It can also be one in October as well. The meat will be frozen, salted or dried. It will also be delivered to the stores for us other to by and eat it.

In Sweden there are about 30-35000 samis, and I can find it hard that we not can compromise and live side by side.

A mountain environment without reindeers wouldn’t be a real mountain environment. Today there are 250 000-275 000 reindeers in Sweden.

And don’t forget, the first mountin guides was the samis..

The first Mountain guides was the samis, we should not forget..
