Description
'Types and costumes in Lapland', 1879. Saami people from northern Scandinavia in traditional costume. The Saami were formerly known as Lapps or Laplanders, terms now considered derogatory. During the 18th and 19th centuries, government policies attacked the Saami way of life, but in 1966 the Saami came under the protection of the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
