"Is it too cold for Casinos? LOL"

Good humor but, not enough people in that area.

The Sa'ami are the only people to domesticate the rein deer and are the source of 'our' Santa Claus and him delivering gifts by rein deer sleigh.

I’ve read about the Saami in the past. Being an Indian, I have always been interested in other ethnic groups like the Saami and the Aboriginals of Australia. I study the Shamanistic cultures and find them quite alike in many ways. The Inu of the N. Japanese Islands worked through the bear and had a lot of similarities with my small tribe on the N.W. Coast of California. Even the word Shaman comes from a tribe in Siberia. I particularly like the Eskimo culture and make ivory and soapstone carvings like theirs. Aloha FH
