The Sami, the indigenous people of the North, have traditionally been nomads, where reindeer herding has provided both food and clothing. On this excursion you get to learn about their knowledge of nature and the healing herbs and medicines it can provide. You also get to taste a variety of different Sami dishes.
The Sami have their own culture, their own language and, not least, their own music. You will hear their special form of song, joik and see their handicrafts and beautiful, colourful clothes that also feature in the Sami flag. You will also hear about the Sami shaman, Noaiden, who is the spirit man and medicine man of the Sami culture.
