A Land of Mountains and Ice
Sarek's mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice.Around 9,000 years ago, this ice melted, leaving behind① about 100 glaciers.Soon after, reindeer began to arrive.❶Following the reindeer were the Sami people, who made this territory their home.Getting here is quite difficult, so apart from② the Sami very few people have ever seen Sarek.In 1909, Sarek was made a national park in order to keep the land in its natural state.Though the Sami are allowed to continue their traditional way of life in the park, no one else can live here, and all new development is banned within park boundaries.At the far side of the valley, an ancient Sami cottage is visible.Close by,there are a few reindeer feeding on③ grass.
Man at Peace with Nature
For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami.They used the reindeer's meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents.❷Since reindeer were always on the move,the Sami would pick up④ their tents and accompany them.Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life⑤ just like their neighbours.But every spring, a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions.
