During this joyous Christmas season, I’d like you to know....
A reindeer bit my sister once.
Whenever I go over that collection ~ and this is just part of a far larger collection accessible on the net, I look for family faces and always find a new one.
Now not all those faces are family ~
Worth nothing ~ there may be as many as 105,000 Sa'ami in the Fenno-Scandinavian peninsula but there are at least 9,000,000 Sa'ami descendants in the United States.
One aspect of Sa'ami life not covered in those pictures was the forced relocation of most of the population to America in the mid 1600s through the early 1700s.
