The photographs are amazing. They do have a harsh life… but maybe we could still learn something from their attitude to the earth.

Incredible! I am humbled by these people, and completely captivated by the fact they ride reindeer and hunt with wolves and eagles. Its the stuff of fantasy! I can’t help wondering if once more ancient people’s were like this. The photographer did an amazing job. Thanks for sharing this article, as I wouldn’t have seen it otherwise. 😊

They’re wonderful! I love how the photographer just let them speak for themselves, with just a few lines of text between them. Very well done.
