Lapland, Norway

1968

George F. Mobley

"Relatively few of some 32,000 Lapps who live scattered across the
arctic fringes of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, the rugged area
known as Lapland, have ever followed the lonely life of the reindeer
nomad. But those few have clung tenaciously to the customs of their
forefathers, following their herds along migratory routes linking
winter and summer pastures."

--Text from the National Geographic book Vanishing Peoples of the
Earth, 1968
