OUR REINDEER – OUR WAY OF LIFE

Being a reindeer herder is definitely not a nine-to-five job! Reindeer herding is a complex and demanding way of life.

Rather than demanding that our reindeer follow our own seasons, we carefully tune our life to theirs. That’s why we Sámi count eight seasons, and that is why we follow our reindeer’s natural migration between inland and coastal pastures.

These photos will give you a glimpse of our varied life with the reindeer. Enjoy!
