Reindeer Husbandry In Tromso, Norway
Sami women are showing a group of people the oral traditions of the Nordic indigenous community in Tromso, Norway, on January 9, 2024. Reindeer husbandry is being practiced as a traditional activity and remains an integral part of Sami culture, the indigenous people of the region. These reindeer farms, known as ''siidas'' in the Sami language, are crucial for preserving the traditional Sami culture and way of life. The reindeer farms in and around Tromso are typically situated in areas where reindeer can graze freely for part of the year. The Sami value reindeer as a source of meat, milk, and hides, and they are carrying out reindeer husbandry in accordance with traditional and sustainable practices. (Photo by Jorge Mantilla/NurPhoto)
