Starry Night Sky

THE STARRY SKY IN SÁPMI

In the Sami tradition, the starry sky in Sápmi is a cosmic hunting scene. With a life in close contact with nature and a long winter/polar night. The Sami have developed a conscious relationship with the starry sky. The Sami have lived on reindeer herding and hunting, and the Sami constellations reflect this. We find the reindeer, hunters and hunting tools among the star constellations in the sky.
