Safarioppaan työt loppuvat Lapissa kuin seinään, kun sesonki päättyy – matkailun kasvua haetaan nyt kesästä ja syksystä
Lapin matkailu kasvaa lumettomallakin kaudella, mutta suurin osa sesonkityöntekijöistä ei silloin työllisty. Kesän ja syksyn matkailun kasvaminen vaatii pitkäjänteistä työtä.

or just The Three Country Cairn, the spot where Finland, Sweden and Norway shake hands.
Well, the first picture is 'a' country cairn, the second picture is THE three country cairn. But I liked the sky in the first picture better, so... :)
These cairns are located in Malla Strict Nature Reserve, most easily accessible from Kilpisjärvi in Finland. As the title of the park suggest, it's a very special area with rare species of plants and therefore protected. Every Mans Right, the right to roam is not applicable here. However, according to regulations on the basis of cultural protection, the indigenous Sami people should have access to the land for the practice of reindeerhusbandry. Two worlds collide.
My Malla-story: I don't want to brag (I do, actually :P) but I think I saw a wolf here once. On my way back down, where the treeline starts, I sat down on the path, to drink my last bit of water. I heard some footsteps down below off the trail, which was weird, because you are not supposed to stray from the path. And the steps sounded too coordinated for reindeer. I waited it out quietly and then a big dog appeared. My heart jumped, but luckily the dog didnt hear that. To this day, I don't know if it really was a wolf, but if it looks like one, walks like one and quacks like a one.. maybe?..

19 mars 2018 - Un bon reportage en Sápmi finlandaise : de la neige, des aurores boréales, de la neige, des aurores boréales.
Nesseby, Varanger Peninsula, Norway 2023
This wooden frame construction on the coast of the Varanger peninsula was used to dry fish. Cod, I think. It's strange how this seemingly fragile construction manages to withstand the harshand salty winds brought in by the sea. An old saami fishing boat is still laying in its belly, resting until it is no more.
In the background of the third picture, there is the beautiful white church of Nesseby. It looks so light in the fog, it's almost like its afloat in the bay.
It's like time stood still here. I imagine weathered fishermen coming back from a hard days work, or their families gathering at the church praying for their safe return. It feels very special to stand in this place.
I visited Varanger in 2023, but had to return to a more inhabited world due to a self-inflicted car malfunction :P I'm set on returning this summer.
I'm open to any and all suggestions for great hikes in this area! Let me know if you have some tips!

Lars Ailo Bongo er kanskje den einaste i verda som kan gjere det han gjer.

Hvis professor Lars Ailo Bongo får rett i det han ser for seg, kan mange utfordringer i samiske samfunn bli løst av kunstig intelligens.

Lávus discoi/Fra lavvo til disco (1985): En kort, men interessant film om krysningspunktet mellom moderne og tradisjonell samisk kultur, med musikk, satire og folkeopplysning i en sjangermessig løs innpakning. Åpningssekvensen er spot on og Nils Utsi som rømt museumsdukke er jo ganske morsomt. Verdt å sjekke ut!
Sett på Tromsø filmklubb, men er også tilgjengelig på NRK.

NRK TVFra lavvo til disco - NRK TVUnderlige tildragelser i Sameland vinteren 1985. I hovedrollene finner vi skuespillerne Marion Eilertsen, Nils Utsi og Sverre Porsanger. Med "plantet" samisk musikk hvor bl.a. Mattis Hætta gjør "come back" etter Grand Prix i 1980. Den samiske visesangeren Mari Boine Persen, den samiske popgruppen Captein Morgan og Ellen Marit Eira Solbakke fremfører tradisjonell joik. Nyere samisk musikk blir også presentert av Halvdan Nedrefjord. Ved Johs Kalvemo og Dag Hermansen.
Ylen saamenkielinen toimitus hakee uutta päällikköä, koska nykyinen on irtisanoutunut väikkärin tekemisensä takia.
"Saamenkielinen toimitus ei ollut mukana #YT-neuvotteluissa ja työ jatkuu kuten ennenkin. Halusimme varmistaa työn jatkumisen, sanoo Fager."
Eli ilm. ei olisi siinä mielessä mahdoton duuni, ettei resursseja ole: mihinkään.

Kind of nice that I'm going to run my first marathon in #Sápmi
I learned a lot about the Sami at UiTø and our department was nearby the department of Sami studies. One highlight of my stay was the visit of the Kautokeino Easter Festival.
If you like hiking, nature and outdoors, are interested in Scandinavia and Sami culture then this if for you: https://www.svtplay.se/video/jAMnogE/vandringar/gransleden
Unfortunately there are no English subtitles. It’s mostly Sami with Swedish subtitles.
It’s just one episode of a whole series. Every single one of them is worth watching.
SVT PlayVandringar – GränsledenLängs Gränsleden mellan Ritsem och norska Sörfjorden har lulesamiska familjer rört sig i hundratals år. Vi möter släktingar till de som flydde längs leden under andra världskriget. Det blir också samisk slöjd med Katy Unga och musik med Mirja Palo. Dessutom utses fjällkvanne till drottning bland fjällets växter.
Endlich Zeit gefunden und meinen Tourbericht vom #IkkeKungsleden 2022 fertig geschrieben.

I finished a trip report, it’s in German, sorry, but the pictures are universal. Go check them out nonetheless!

"With the singular Sámi oral storytelling tradition of joik at its center, ÁHKUIN is a visual and musical call-and-response between a grandmother and her descendants. Archival interviews and the joik of Maarit-áhkku (dir. Sunná Máret Nousuniemi’s grandmother) unspool as a connective thread across time, inviting the viewer through a portal into this corner of Sápmi. Here, the rhythms of time are set by the daily tasks that assured the survival of those who came before; seemingly mundane chores — carrying water from the river, setting up the sauna, boiling reindeer bone marrow — offer up gifts of memory, music, and Indigenous knowledge.
"As in Indigenous communities the world over, colonization has profoundly shaped recent Sámi history through stories of loss. Drawing aesthetic inspiration from sources as diverse as duodji (Sámi handicrafts and land-based knowledge systems), the work of David Lynch, Pauliina Peodoroff’s Matriarkaatti (Matriarchy), and the environmentally focused, community-based art of Niillas Holmberg, Jenni Laiti and Outi Pieski, ÁHKUIN presents a melancholy yet playful Sámi story with lessons for a new era defined by giving and receiving."
