Kiitos! American Saami here.. (or as we said Sammy/Laplander)
My family would be proud of your Sisu.
We have only one in Finland still hearding. The forests are now to comfy, and difficult to deal with policies and politics.. but, the tourists love it?!
Total respect for you, Henrik. You're strong, motivated and hard working and deserve all the best!
My husband was of mixed Saami and Suomi parentage. They are an awesome people, very tough and rugged, and very much like the Native people of North America. It is good to see that the traditional ways of life survive, if in modified form.
Henrik decided recently to quit reindeer herding this summer. After 20 years, he felt that things had gone too bad, and that it would be futile to keep on fighting.
a shame, though understandable. This doc was very insightful
Sámi span across a large region of north of Scandinavia into Russia as well, Sámi of Sweden can be very white in appearance with stark white hair and green eyes and as you go east the features become darker. Some people deny Sámi being native as being so pale and light features does not "look native" but it does not make us less indigenous, our heritage is there regardless
A very nice video! Kiitos! Despite the hard work of reindeer herding and the deforestation, there is some very beautiful scenery and nature. The snow covered trees are beautiful.
Thank you! Some of the snow covered scenes are now unfortunately clear cut...
, Henrik Andersson from Gällivare forest Sami community in Swedish Lapland, you are a true hero and i loved watching this documentary.
My father is Swedish and now he live in Scotland.
i was born in Scotland and i have been lucky to visit and stay with my family in Sweden
I have had the greatest of pleasure in walking threw your forests around on my own in summertime hunting and fishing
so i no why you live that hard brutal life its such a beautiful place.
this documentary has given me some incite in to the sami people and there way of life
thank you and well done
Being a reindeer owning Saami is not the easiest thing in Sweden, and Henrik has been fighting the injustices for a long time, but mining, wind power and logging companies are a very powerful opponent.
Just heard that this film got the second price in the documentary class at a film festival in Murmansk.
Hi I come from South Africa. This documentary is very interesting and informative. Beautiful landscape with snow! Interesting people the Sami.
Are Sami people of the White race or Asian race? Bit of both? Do not want to be racist, just want to know.
поздравляю!
Finno-Ugric, they are white if you want to see it that way, not asiatic.
Shut up
Just got me dna test back and found out my mum who is from east end London is 58% Sami?? Bit unexpected!!
a well done done documentary... congratulations.! As a nature enthusiast and advocate, i loathe the fact that my country has also had a poor chance with the way they treat the native populations in the Mau Forest _ an equatorial rainforest in Kenya , The Ogiek of Kenya have been decimated to near extinction over the recent years through government initiatives that incentivised heavy logging of the natural forests in which they live.
Coincidentally, , these were the indigenous population as other populations trickled in fairly recently starting from around 3000 BC( a conservative estimate )
+Bennaars Ongidi It's sad. Same story everywhere. Short economic gains or more important than longer lasting other values. Only money is valued.
Tack vare Petri.
When you realize just how much we are alike. They are just like northern tribes all over the world 🌎 they could pass for so many . Beautiful people
I suggest the documentary " Miss Navajo". The Navajo people have found many ways to preserve their culture and language.
Aren't many Swedish Sami denied reindeer husbandry due to forced assimilation? So sad for them in Sweden. I do not know the Finland Sami cultural rules.
Your language is decipherable by "English" standards. Thank you for your contributions to 'nature understandings'.
Wish you the best
Why is it that thousands of years indigenous people have lived their way without the intrusion from outsiders and Gov't , then when corporations, , companies, , again Gov't get involved it gets difficult, gets troublesome, and the " can't do that brigade " roll in ..... totally throwing the whole balance out of sinc. We think the moden world is our future, there is a saying " Pride before a fall " take those teachings from those who live in a balanced world , take what's needed nothing more. There will be a time when we NEED those skills and resources im sure of it ! Don't lose these ways of life, and those in power have some understanding to do.
When big money and people with power are introduced to the equation, profits usually trump everything else.
@@PetriStorlopare But hey we have computers right
I sent my DNA to the National Geographic Genome project and found my Swedish paternal Grandmother must have been Sami, and I inherited most of my maternal DNA from her, because I'm nearly 70% Sami on my maternal side. I love that because my favorite people have always been the US Native Americans. Indigenous people usually live in balance, I wish however that the Sami had more respect for the wildlife that also rightfully exist on their lands. I would love to visit, and hear the Grey wolf calling at night, and a brown bear and her cubs making her way to the waters edge. I avoid my favorite parts of the US because of the cruel barbarism of how they treat wildlife. It would seem that there would be many ways to protect calves during calving season, Range riders, Great Pyrenees , or Kangal dogs. Alzhemer's. Parkinson's , ALS are now proven to be prion diseases related to chronic wasting, scrapies, and mad cow. Natural predators remove prion diseased animals. You, the very human wolf families, and bears are all victims of the great evil that is making all of us at the end of human life as we know it. We are not living in a sustainable way.
Did you have a kit to DNA test? I ask because we've just learned our Grandmother was Sami ( my moms mother) don't know yet about Grandfather. Both came to Canada from same town to our knowledge in Sweden .
Nvr knew my Grandfather he died when my mom was 17 yts old . My Grandmother passed when I was 12 yrs old didn't know her well she didn't like kids much lol.
I would love to find out how much Sami I am. We are gonna do a search that will hopefully tell us if our Grandfather was Sami as well.
All small peoples are disappearing, especially in the north.
living in Colombia if crazy documental ice places, the Sami people at a camp. sorry don.t understand ingles. me gusto mucho la poblacion de SAMI.
I feel like the predator issue could be minimised with herd dogs. Other than that I agree with everything he says especially. As a fellow Swede I admire what he does.
I was invited to the Swedish film awards ceremony with this film. It was four days ago in Stockholm (01.23.2017). guldbaggen.se/filmaret-2016-del-2-av-9-naturkraft/
It always makes me very sad when indigenous peoples are ignored and exploited by money driven psychopaths who care nothing about the land.
I've always felt an affinity with the Saami. They are the indigenous
people of Europe. My surname is Scandinavian as are most of the other
names in my family. Maybe the Saami are my ancestors too. I'd like to go
there someday and live with them and learn their traditional skills and
wisdom.
Talking about people and companies who only care about quick money, I saw this link today. It shows how the clear felled areas in one part of Sweden has increased since the 70's. Most of the old forests have been cut and roads built everywhere. www.svt.se/nyhetsklipp/lokalt/vasterbotten/article10365969.svt
They are mongoloid with the haplogroup N which orginated in China so they are not indigenous your day dreaming mongol lover
Obviously you have no understanding of the term indigenous. By your definition there would be no indigenous people. The fact that people travelled I to Europe from other place over ten thousand years ago does not mean they are not indigenous. They are the indigenous people of the Sapmi in northern Europe to.argue against that fact is to be regarded. You must really lead s sad life coming onto RUclips to troll is a sign of a tragic individual. I feel sorry for you.
mongol haha
what do u mean
I love Sami people and culture!
I want EU to very soon secure my human rights!
My name and lastname is MY PERSONAL PROPERTY, according to human rights in EU.
Today, when a european citizen moves to another country f.ex to Denmark and Scandinavia, than Denmark denies to a citizen to register his real true name with those latin alphabet letters which citizen has got by birth in his name and lastname.
In Denmark, citizens are not allowed on ID card or when having a double passport citizenship, to register their true real name
with latin alphabet letters such as: Č , Đ , Ć , Ž , Š ...
I do not want to be forcibly assimilated by another EU country, because if it is by this kind of force people shall be assimilated- than there is actually NO FREE movement in EU...
It is my human right to keep my culture, my heritage, my identity- even when I move to another EU country.
My name and lastname is also my culture, my heritage, my identity!
You can not just change peoples identity by not registering some latin letters in their names.
southern saami what is your name?
Hoy tube una clase de ingles de Sami y me fúe bien.

2:49 Can you tell me where is this place?
It was filmed along the Råne river valley in northern Sweden.
Petri Storlöpare 2:49 Can you tell me where is this place? Exact address.
Petri Storlöpare please write me 2:49 Can you tell me where is this place? Exact address.
There are no exact addresses in forests. It's a road in middle of nowhere.
Petri Storlöpare 2:49 Can you tell me where is this place? Exact address.
Yes, I know where it is, but why do you need the exact address?
Can you tell me?I need the exact address. I liked this place very much.
The dead Raindeer eaten - it looks like the bear goes for the organ system mainly and leaves the rest?
Organs tend to be the most nutritious part of the animal, lean meat doesn’t have nearly as much nutritional value.
This man is no longer reindeer herder, it's sad if this dude could not live the lifestyle than what hope young sami have really?
Well cant a sami just damn the law and move out to nature with his herd, doubt they'll send much of anything to try and catch him, and if they do it just gives more attention to it.
Very good. Our big issue as humans is we have been so "successful" as a species there are too many of us on the planet, such that we will not even survive the for 2 millions years our ancestor hom o e rec tus lived. Hom o spaiens will not live as long. I hope the Sami men can marry and have young families however so their traditions can live on as they live at one with nature as humans managed until 10,000 years ago when we settled down and in a sense thus brought about our own ultimate demise.
Such a great insight into the daily struggle of Saami herders. It's disgraceful that the colonizing people there are treating the indigenous so terribly and think that they are in their way, and if so, they should go back to their own land. They should not have to move around them. Sorry for the tone but it's hard to read what Saami People go through, and even harder to watch in such detail here! The government organizations need to be offering far more support. I wonder what people are planning to do when they have destroyed the creation of our sustaining planet? We haven't been openly able to leave for another place so I guess it all comes down to supply and demand, if we stop demanding products they will stop using the resources to supply them because there is no money in them
+LittleLikeness Money is all important and any kind of short sighted economic benefit is more important than any other kind of values.
+LittleLikeness Bad things happening in Finland too: www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Sami-Indigenous-People-Face-Unprecedented-Land-Grab-in-Finland-20160403-0030.html
+Petri Storlöpare I understand what you mean! The key is to develop self reliant technology I think.
+Petri Storlöpare thanks for the link, I look forward to watching more.
@@LittleLikeness I have only just watched this in 2020. I agree with everything you have written.
Would a drone work to help see things from above? Safer, cheaper than either a paraglided or ATV.
They have tested drones but as far as I know they are not being used regularly, if at all.
Do the Sammi have domain over dead or driftwood? Other countries already deforested see fire wood as luxury for smoking, outdoor grills, and fire places. Companies even in the US make pressed wood logs from wood chips and recycled wood ... like Dura Flame. Possible markets in Europe?
they need two anatolian or great p's. all the predator problems would be cared for, and the caribou would get used to them easily.
Is their someone to teach me?
I would instantly do the job. Where can I apply ? I’ll do it for minimum wage. If no one wants to do it just hit me up I mean it
really old Sami were not herding but hunting reindeer. The past Finnish, Swedish and Norvegian governments forced the Sami people to pay a rent and so they were obligated to become herders.
anyway thanks for your film, really great. The situation is kinda sad.. everywhere, for forest and people.
Thank you! Yes, the expanding populations, hungry for land and profits, are giving a hard time for nature and people who would like to live in it.
When the king ordered the Sami to pay their taxes in reindeer pelts it was easier if you had a herd.
Lea Váivi geahččat dán dokumentara. Hirbmat suddu ahte miin árbevierut ja giellá leat jávkamen go stádat eai máša doarjut min, oažžu mu jahkit ahte sii halidit javkadit min oalat. Sávan Henrika mánát besse oahppát sin eadnigiela.
In Sweden there are Sasquatch/Bigfoot or Wild Men. What’s about them? Where are bears there are no Sasquatch and where are Sasquatch there are no bears. Be careful and good luck!
Vad menar dem om sista generation?
Menar du namnet på filmen, "Den sista generationen?"?
Det syftar på att det blir svårare och svårare att jobba med renskötsel så som man har gjort fram tills nu. Renskötare, så som de jobbar nu, kan vara borta inom en snar framtid och de som jobbar med det nu kan vara den sista generationen.
I have a idea to get more people in into the sami way raise orphans Millions need a loveing family just teach the language raise 5 at a time they grow up knowing no other way of life and because your there family they are gonna be with ya forever BAM instant sami generation
Looks like our Baajiishkaa’okaan we make in winters.
Why dont they use guarding sheep dogs? Thats what other herders use in other wild parts of the world to keep the predators away..
:)
Michael Bjerre In Finland some of them have a breed made for herding them. But it's not that easy to keep a dog in artic circle.
I do not want subtitles.

Reindeers are better than people, I'm here because of Kristoff 😊
Frozen?
@@PetriStorlopare Yeap
@@PetriStorlopare Kristoff is a Sami a group of nomad Indeginous people originally came from Findland now living in Norway
Haha i'm here for Margú of Klaus
somber show
The reindeer guy is doing several things wrongly, like not insulating floors in the conical dwelling, using a simple fireplace (instead of metal oven that would radiate heat more efficiently and for longer time) and that's why he was suffering from moisture and dampness. He could have also hang around his bed curtains made from textile, so that none of flying blood-sucking insects could get even close to his sleeping bag. But wait, why he doesn't sleep in reindeer pelts instead? These pelts should be made very soft, though. Look at how indigenous people in Russia (such as Nenets, Komi or Khanty) live in such conical dwellings - all year round with whole families! They don't sleep in cars when it's raining a lot, unlike the hero in this film. They stay put in the conical dwellings all the time, regardless of weather.
I surely hope not. I found through DNA an ancestor came from these people. so I'm a distant relative. too many indigenous people have had to give up too much for greed from outside interest, just like the Native Americans of America, not right.
Henrik decided to dismantle his reindeer business this summer because he felt that all the difficulties grew overwhelming. Dealing with land owners, logging companies, police, wind power companies, hunters, farmers an so on, took too much time from working with the animals. It had become a full time job dealing with all these other things.
how sad. hurts my. heart.
Petri Storlöpare just like here greed. money...so sad.
Everything that isn't connected to making money, specially by big companies, is frivolous :(
I am so sorry to read this. It would not have been an easy decision to make at all. It angers me how money, greed, governments, private corporations ruin a way of life that has been proven for thousands of years.
Ich möchte keine englischen Untertitel.
uno dos tres
The saami actually have a lot of exclusive rights that normal swedes dont have
I guess you don't mean all the saami, but only the reindeer owners?
What exclusive rights are you thinking about?
@@PetriStorlopare hunting, fishing rights. They are allowed to fish pretty much anywhere they want, same with hunting. And if the kill an animals that are out of season then they usually dont get a punishment for it either, it might not be right but if i were to do that id have to pay a fine, or maybe even sit in jail for a time
The reindeer herding saami have some rights that others don't, but what is the point you are trying to make?
they certanly will not die but i think they will stop being nomadic lifestyle, i hope not tho
this looks like fortnite season 3
Should b herding up the folks who r greedy,.let them stand in a circle and think about how dangerous they've come to b, and starve them,.Like the way they take the animals freedom away, and starve them from their own territory,.What r u gonna say to Jesus, try to explain y your herding,.
It doesn't matter in which country human beings are, they always take the animals' freedom away.
These animals have been domesticated for thousands of years, and are traditionally better treated than most meat animals in Europe and the Americas. Not only that, but a "vegan" diet would be impossible for most Saami because of the environment they inhabit and because of their genetics. What would YOU if you lived near the Arctic Circle, and plant-based foods were unavailable for 6 months of the year? Would you emigrate, or would you starve?
How true! and humans are all so cruel to one another!
Check what a food chain is, Plants feel pain as well when you kill them
@Amalie Olsdatter There's written evidence that there were pastoral nomads up around the Arctic Circle at least as far back as Roman times, because Publius Tacitus mentions them in the Germania, and urbanization (as well as the food production and distribution that allows people to eat a vegan diet in areas that don't produce plant based food year round) really only came about in the past 200 years or so. As for the "negative effects on the Arctic fauna" the effects of herding reindeer are about the same as herding sheep on the Cotswolds, because it has been done for so long that the enviroment itself has adapted to being used for grazing to such a degree that there would be an even more serious enviromental impact if the land were no longer used for that purpose...and it would also increase the enviromental damage caused by urbanization and by the mass cultivation of monoculture crops (especially corn, wheat, and soy...all of which require a lot of water and pesticides) and also destroy one of this planet's indigenous cultures. We have the same sort of problems here in Canada!
@Amalie Olsdatter So I suppose your solution is to completely vacate all areas north of the treeline, and become urbanized, which would destroy an entire culture and increase the overpopulation and enviromental damage in other areas, or perhaps engage in genocide (as was done both in North America and in some parts of Northern Europe in the past) I think you should remember that human beings are ALSO an important part of the ecosystem, that human rights (including those of indigenous peoples) are just as important as protecting the planet, and legally and morally speaking you've got no business interfering with how other people live unless it DIRECTLY impacts your own well being or expect ANYONE to do something that you yourself would not be willing to do!
good no greek no latin no christianty no islam no arab is better world
Hi there thank you for this, I would like to say that also they is no need to slaughter these animals as we can live without meat being vegans without having to take the precious life of an animal thank you.
