The Saami people of Finnmark are keen to give “ Daccu” (outsiders) an insight into their lifestyle and culture, which until the mid 1970s was willfully being irradiated by compulsory educational programmes for their children.
They are also keen to create an international awareness of their reliance in every way on the reindeer in the light of newly imposed grazing regulations, and EU regulations on reindeer farming procedures. Recently a plan to introduce wind farms on the birthing grounds used for over 2000 years by some of the herds has been announced. Your personal experience will, they believe create a greater international awareness of their problems. You will make a difference too by providing income for members of a “sida” (family working group) whose income has been depleted by rising costs in herd maintenance that has financially ruined some of them.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
