as already said the wether in Ivalo was always good during the day such that it was possible to perform various activities in view of deepen our knowledge about the Sami peoples and the environment of North Finlandia. The Sami peoples started to colonise gradually the North Europe at the retrait of glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age about 8-9 thousend ybp following the raindeers and other animals which, adapted to the cold wether, followed the glaciers in retrait. Their languages are Ugro-Finnish, as our guides explained us, they are living on an extended territory shared by Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, they have their own Parliament which have only a consultative power. We enjoyed the sleeping environment covered by snow and familiarized with the means used by these peoples to move: sleighs trained by reindeers or husky dogs, motorbikes and skis - see the attached images.
