Sámi Reindeer Herders in Alaska - Letters From America 1901 - 1937
By Aage Solbakk and John Trygve Solbakk.
Description
In the beginning of April 1894, Sámi reindeer herders journeyed to Alaska to work under contract for the United States government. This began a unique chapter in Alaskan history which includes the gold rush and subsequent growth of this American territory. This carefully researched book lets the reader see firsthand into the Sámi's frontier Alaska experiences through their letters sent home to the newspaper The Eastern Star (Nuorttanaste). This book is a must read for an account of Alaskan and Sámi history from those who lived it. - from Amzon
