SWEDEN / Parka / 11.08.2000..Anders Omma, a Saami reindeer herder takes rest from herding at the autumn herd separations at a camp near Jokkmokk, Sweden above the Arctic Circle. The Saami are Northern Europe's indigenous people and live in each of the Scandinavian countries as well as on the Kola Peninsula in Russia. Since being subjugated by the Norwegian and Swedish governments in the 1600s and converted to Christianity, they continue to fight an uphill battle to retain their grazing lands and traditional way of life. ..© Davin Ellicson / Anzenberger.
