| The Sami of Far Northern Europe | | This site discusses the culture and importance of reindeer herding in contemporary Sami. Review several of the articles relating to reindeer herding, and compare the structure of Sami herding practices with that of the contemporary Mongolians described Chapter 8 of Tapestry of Culture.
