"Lapp Home and Family near Tromsoe, Norway
Only about 1,400 miles from the North Pole! We are away up in the
Land of the Midnight sun, a short distance from
the fishing town of Tromsoe. It is a surprise to see grass and fir
trees clothing the ground, but mother earth
makes the most of the short summer here. Rye, barley and oats grow
even as far north as this where
there is favorable exposure, and birch and wild cherry trees are not
uncommon.
This Lapp family have come over the border from Sweden just for the
season and it is their summer residence
where we find them. They are lineal descendants of the aboriginal
inhabitants of these northlands, and their
language is a far-off cousin of the Hungarian. This house is built
of stones and small logs, covered over with turf.
There is an opening in the top to let out the smoke of the open fire and
all the air and light enter by that
opening and by he door where the mother sits with that chubby baby.
A
pretty large family it seems
to be for one such hut, but they are not very exacting in the matter of
food and clothing and fresh air.
They get along serenely with their reindeer to depend on as a chief
source of livelihood.
This beast has just been caught in the pasture by a lasso over its
horns, and led around
here to show us a specimen of the master's herd. It is just as
well that the mistress does not bestir herself
to offer us a drink of reindeer milk, for it is particularly thick, as
if it had been beaten up with eggs,
and the flavor is too strong to recommend it at first to a stranger; in
fact the mother dilutes it with water
before she gives it to these uncritical urchins for their supper"

""A
Lapland Family and their Summer Home
This Lapp family have established their temporary summer home a short
distance from the fishing village of Tromsoe.
Their tent is made of skins and of heavy woolen cloth called vadreal
stretched over birch-tree poles.
This cloth is porous and allows the wind to pass through, thus being
more secure than skins or canvas which would
resist the wind. The opening in the top is to let out the smoke of
the open fire, and all the air and light enter
by that opening and by the door where the mother stands with her chubby
baby.
The Lapps are probably the smallest people in Europe. They are
lineal descendants of the aboriginal inhabitants
of these Northlands, and their language is like that of the Hungarians.
They are divided into three classes
according to where they live, namely, the fishing Lapps, the forest
Lapps, and the mountain Lapps.
The two latter wander from one part to another according to the season
and so are called nomads.
They have herds of reindeer, which are their chief wealth. They drink
the milk of the reindeer, from it make
butter and cheese, eat its flesh, make clothes from its skin, and use
the living animal for drawing their sleighs.
Of course the fishing Lapps live largely on fish. But even the
Lapps are having wants more like people
in other parts of the world and feel that they, too, must have coffee,
sugar, and tobacco.
Lapland is not a separate country, but is just a name given to the
region inhabited by the Lapps and which
forms part of Norway, Sweden and Finland. It is mostly beyond the
Arctic Circle."

"Lapp Family at Home, Norway
This queer looking mound is a house - not a playhouse, but a really,
truly house. It is made of stones covered with earth. It has
no windows. There is only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke.
It is a dark, dirty place. Around the inside is a raised step of
hard mud. This is used for table, chairs and bed. Here the
family sit, eat and sleep.
At night they spread down reindeer
skins for their bed.
The Lapps are small people, much smaller than Americans. They live
far north in a very cold part of the world. They dress mostly in
reindeer skins worn with the hair inside. Their boots are pointed
deerskin moccasins. The reindeer give the Lapps almost
everything they need. The skins are made into clothes, bedding and
summer tents. The flesh is eaten. They give the Lapps rich
milk which can be made into butter and cheese. And when the snow
is on the ground they draw his sledge for him. Some are so swift
they go a hundred miles a day. In winter they eat lichens and moss
under the snow. It is hard work to paw away the snow to get these.
The Lapp could not live without his herds of useful reindeer, and his
dogs to help care for them."

"Lapland
A winter of nine
months is the portion of Lapland. The Lapps dwell very far north in
Europe,
and the general aspect of their country is forbidding. The people of
this country and of Finland, to
whom they are nearly allied, are a hardy and courageous race. They
are, however, wild
and savage when aroused. In disposition they are peaceable. The
Laplanders are great fishermen
and there are many varieties of fish along his shores. He is also a
great hunter,
and in winter his game is the squirrel, wolf, sable, ermine, otter, and
bear.
Many Laplanders dwell in tents, but most of these even during the
coldest season retire to rude,
low, wooden structures. They dress in skins or coarse home-woven
clothing
The favorite recreation of the children is Blind-Man’s Bluff.
These rude young barbarians play it with zest and delight which is
infectious.
Many a rough buffet do they give and receive, and woe betide the
youngster who allows his bad humor
to resent a blow given by accident or in fun.
In the sketch to the
left, is shown a representative group. The man is a hunter, fully
equipped for the chase from which he has just returned laden down with
game. He wears snowshoes.
The woman, his wife, bears in a portable frame her baby which is bound
within.
The reindeer is everything to the Laplander – his food, his means of
transportation,
the source and evidence of his wealth. Reindeer are allowed to find
pasture for themselves,
ranging where they will, branded as are cattle on our western
prairie-land.
The reindeer is the Laplander’s horse as well and carries him over the
snow in his low-seated carriage
with the swiftness of the wind. Among other sports of this people, are
ball-playing,
monotonous singing, and skating down hill on the skide, a skate over six
feet long.
This is one of a series
of Fifty (50) Cards giving pictorial History of the sports and Pastimes
of all Nations."

Reindeer
People of the Reindeer
The most prolific and common
animal in the Arctic climes of the planet is the Reindeer (Rangifer
tarandus).
When found in sub-Arctic and Arctic North America
the species is called the Caribou. Caribou tend to be wild
and migratory
while Reindeer, the same species in far northern Europe
and Asia,
tend to be semi-domesticated and domesticated.
Reindeer has been that animal that meets
most of the needs of the people, and therefore is a totem and
spiritual resource as well. Reindeer was called "the bearer of life"
and serves much as the Bison served
for the Plains
Indians of North America.
The images presented here are
illustrative of 17-20th century perceptions of
the Reindeer and Caribou, the role they played
in the respective traditional cultures, and the people and cultures who
historically used and cherished them.
All of the above artifacts
are in the collection of Imagi Gallery.
