About This Book
Based on repeated field visits to a remote Lapland borderland, the author provides ethnographic portraits of the Koltta people, their settlements, buildings, and seasonal movements. Chapters detail subsistence practices—fishing, hunting, reindeer and sheep herding—and household economy, plus gendered crafts and everyday routines. The account examines rites and social practices including weddings, inheritance, child care, illness, death, and burial, and surveys religious life where Orthodox Christianity coexists with older beliefs and magic. Language and oral poetry are recorded, and the narrative emphasizes the region's sparse mapping and the challenges of documenting its isolated communities.
