Customer Reviews

The Sami of Northern Europe (First Peoples)

A good basic introduction to the life of the Sami people,this is appropriate for any age group, and would be a good educational tool to be included when children are being taught about native (indigineous)cultures.This was one of the earliest native cultures, and has many implications for us even at the present time.Since recently learning that I have unexpected genetic roots in this culture I have been actively educating myself about my "roots".

Excellent

This is an excellent book, if brief. It's intended for children, but the images and writing are useful to adults, as well; especially considering the small number of books available on the subject.
