Description

An Account of the SámiThe year 1910 marked a milestone in Smi cultural and literary history. In that year, the Smi wolf hunter and reindeer herder Johan Turi produced his Muitalus Samiid birra, the first secular book ever published in a Smi language. Turis work an eloquent, at times poignant exploration of Smi history, livelihoods, and culture aimed at making state authorities in Sweden and Norway aware of the intricacies and value of the indigenous culture of the Smi.
