About This Book

The work offers a systematic ethnographic account of a northern region and its inhabitants, opening with discussion of the place-name and competing theories of origin. It records daily life, clothing, reindeer husbandry, marriage practices, social customs, and ritual beliefs including conjurations, and surveys language and material culture. The narrative draws on archival records, prior historians, and direct conversations with local people, calling attention to common misconceptions and extraordinary but verifiable details. Organized into topical chapters, the text alternates concise summaries of sources with extended descriptive passages intended to present a measured portrait of a remote society.
