They used the reindeer's meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents. Since reindeer were always on the move, the Sami would pick up their tents and accompany them. Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life 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. I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I've adopted some of their habits...... 4 A Land of Adventure After breakfast, I pack my bag and set out again.
