Reindeer vs. Caribou: What's the Difference?

Thank you for visiting #trowback #laplandnorthdestinations #reindeerherding #onlyinlapland #natureinwinter | Reindeer Farm Petri Mattus

Reindeer herding is integral to the Sami, the only recognised indigenous people of Northern Europe. Living in harmony with their surroundings, their stewardship of their Arctic homelands combines traditions both ancient and thoroughly modern. #ForYourJourney #Parajumpers #Sami #Norway #Sweden #Finland #Scandinavia #IndigenousPeoples #SamiPeople #Reindeer #ReindeerHerding #SamiCulture #Arctic #ArcticCircle #Outerwear #Wanderlust #NaturalWorld | Parajumpers

"To be Sami is to be a custodian of this way of life; where reindeer herding is not merely a livelihood, but a vibrating melody harmonising with the rhythm of Lapland itself." Sami reindeer herder Sara-Elvira Kuhmunen works with her brother to herd reindeer across the frozen Arctic landscape of Sápmi. It's a fusion of age-old customs and cutting-edge practices.
