Finland's indigenous northerners have used technology to ease the arduous side
of reindeer herding while maintaining an intimate knowledge of Lapland's natural
world. Their capital, Inari, and the nearby Lemmenjoki National Park are the best
places to begin to learn about Sámi culture and traditions, starting at the marvel-
lous
Siida
museum. Arrange wilderness excursions with Sámi guides, meet
reindeer, and browse high-quality handicrafts and music, the sale of which bene-
fits local communities.
