With the Lapps in the High Mountains: A Woman among the Sami, 1907–1908

Loved it!
So detailed, it gave such a great picture of the Sami people, Emilie speaks about them very respectfully and as actual people, not like case studies or something. Very lovely read, I read it twice, finding new things, and I pretty much never read books twice. I really wanted to learn more about their way of life and I felt like this book painted a great picture, it wasn't dry like a lot of anthropological books.

Great history & travelogue
Fascinating story of a woman’s trek with the Lapps in the early 1900s. Beautifully written descriptions of the culture & beauty of the natural surroundings.

Enjoy the journey
I found this to be a refreshing read about a culture that hasn't gotten enough coverage. Writers style is quite poetic at times. Enjoy the journey!

life with the Sami
It was very much like a journal it was behind the scenes of everyday life of the Sami . I experienced some of these things in the 1970's and found the History and way of living hadn't changed much in 70 years. The book is more of a documentary so a slower read.

Important Cultural Insights
This is an amazing book giving insight into the lives of Sami women at the beginning of the 1900's. Barbara Sjoholm did a wonderful job researching and writing Emilie Demant Hatt's life and times amongst the Sami. Brava!
