This Sami girl wears
traditional clothes for the
spring festival celebration.
Her curved-toe shoes are
made from reindeer hide
and sewn with thread made
of reindeer sinew. The
festival includes reindeer
roping contests, sleigh
rides, and reindeer races.
An Inuit boy is dressed up as
a wolf, wearing a real wolf
skin. His family is celebrating
a good hunt. The boy’s
father hunted the wolf after it
attacked the family’s
caribou herd. The
boy’s mother
prepared the wolf
skin to preserve
it and may
later trade it
at the fur
market.
