Reindeer sled ride. EXTREME!
My nephew and I went to the World cup Reindeer Sled racing Championship in Kautokeino. They sold sled rides so we decided to give it a try.

Vlog uit de vrieskist (2)
Poolnacht in Kautokeino. Om me zo goed mogelijk in te kunnen leven in de Sami way-of-life woon ik deze tijd hier in een lavvu bij de rendieren van Aslak Sokki. Op zoek naar waar oude tradities de huidige tijd raken. En waar het schuurt. Of waar het juist versterkt. #Seasons reportage. #Mondiavisueel

Calmmis Calbmai part 3
A Sami University College bachelor exam, traditional storytellin 2007.
In his own way, the sami way, the filmaker tells the story about his grandfather who has never left the north of sweden, but has more knowledge and wisdom than most people do. The story is told with great enthusiasm and in the filmakers own personal and very humoristic way, and on more that one occasion makes us laugh.

Sami Reindeer Herders Tepee and Traditions in Finnish Lapland
(Continued from Dashing through the snow in a one reindeer sleight....)
The reindeer sleigh ride over back in Pentti's reindeer farm, he unharnessed the deer, one at a time for us to park in the corral. My reindeer, Dancer, was first and he took off like a bat out of hell, dragging me behind him while all the others sedately walked.
Inside Pentti's typical Sami tent, a roaring fire was burning to warm up around, cook pancakes, drink coffee and listen to stories about Sami life. Until the 1960s, families still lived in tents like these under such harsh conditions but the Sami now all live in cabins.
It was an interesting and fun adventure even though it was way below zero in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. If Finnish Lapland is in your plans, I encourage you to take the two-hour excursion, not the four-hour and give my regards to Dancer...

Reinflytting The Movie
Endelig fikk jeg deltatt på noe jeg alltid har hatt på min bucket list. Å være med på vårflyttinga med reindrifta. I år lå alt til rette og jeg ble med Ravdol-siida'en da de flyttet reinen fra Nattvann, mellom Karasjok og Lakselv. Og til Kokelv, mellom Olderfjord og Havøysund. Fantastisk tur med minner for livet!
Turen var på rundt 20 mil og tok én uke.
Denne videoen er alt jeg ville ha med på en slik video, men for å gjøre den publikumsvennlig halverte jeg den.
Men her er i alle fall det jeg syntes burde være med.
Den kortere og mer mer publikumsvennlige videoen finner du her:
Også laget en kort video som gir et lite inblikk i vinterflyttinga.

--------------------------------------------------------
It's for a long time been on my bucket list, to join the reindeer herders when they follow their reindeers from the winter to the summer pasture. This year everything was in place for me to participate. So I joined the Ravdol-siida and their 200 km / 100 miles long spring migration.
This is the full video of what I wanted to include in the movie.
The shorter and more viewer friendly video can be found at this adress:
I've also made a short video from the vinter migration that will give you some insight of how it is then.

Arctic Temperatures Shrinking Reindeer
Bad news for Santa’s sleigh: Reindeer are getting smaller. As temperatures inch up, winters are getting warmer in Norway, where Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) live. Instead of being able to brush aside the snow that covers the grasses, lichens, and mosses they eat during the 8-month-long chill, the animals’ diet is locked away under a layer of ice when warming temperatures cause rain to fall on existing snow cover, freezing it solid. To see exactly how these conditions affect the reindeer, a team of researchers captured and weighed 135 of the animals on average every year in April from 1994 to 2015. Platyrhynchus body mass decreased by 12% over this period—from 55 kilograms to 48, the team will report tomorrow at the British Ecological Society annual meeting in Liverpool, in an expansion of a Global Change Biology paper published earlier this year. Though the numbers don’t seem extreme, reindeer size has reached a critical point: Female reindeer below 50 kilograms give birth to smaller calves and even terminate their fetuses to save themselves if too little food is available. When these smaller calves begin to reproduce at about 3 years of age, they produce smaller calves themselves. Researchers think this cycle has caused populations to become smaller and lighter. The scientists say there’s a possibility that an even warmer climate could make winters so short, the ice layer could melt altogether and expose plants, allowing reindeer to increase in size by producing larger, heavier young over a handful of generations. But for now, the shrunken Svalbard reindeer are sure to be picked last during reindeer games.

Sami people
The Sami people, also spelled Sámi or Saami, are the indigenous Finno-Ugric people inhabiting the Arctic area of Sápmi, which today encompasses parts of far northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Kola Peninsula of Russia, and the border area between south and middle Sweden and Norway. The Sámi are the only indigenous people of Scandinavia recognized and protected under the international conventions of indigenous peoples, and are hence the northernmost indigenous people of Europe. Sami ancestral lands span an area of approximately 388,350 km2 , which is approximately the size of Norway, in the Nordic countries. Their traditional languages are the Sami languages and are classified as a branch of the Uralic language family.
