Nomadic Reindeer Herders of the Sami | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Jon and his family live in Northern Scandinavia, above the Arctic Circle. He is a reindeer breeder and belongs to the Sami people, a semi-nomadic community.
Samis search for a balance between life in nature and the comfort brought by technology. While this modernization eases their nomadism, it weakens the autonomy of their community.
With lucidity and humility, Jon gives his voice to the camera to share with us his joys and love of nature but also his doubts about the future of his culture and community.

I could listen to that voice for a lifetime!

[@robertcronin6603]

This is just fabulous...Jon's voice and energy are easy to experience...very interesting stuff.

[@marakarm4648]

I love Sami people and way of life ….the landscape is beautiful and nice to hear the wonderful voice of Sami singer Mari Boine ….and I live in the opposite end of the world …Australia.

[@floatpvnk]

Australia is gorgeous too!

You know, just nerves

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what what the orator was describing. No rain deer 🦌 riders this episode 😭 special thanks to the guest speaker sharing daily life activities and experiences. Making this documentary more authentic and possible. While viewing this episode from the comfort & warmth of my computer 💻 room. Along the “ Space Coast “ of Florida. 🐊🐊🐊. Wishing the rain deer 🦌 breeders/families & viewers. A safe/healthy/prosperous 2024-,!!! ( 1-21-24 ). Amazing the migratory routes those rain deer travel along upon instinctively. 😳

Nice to see Jon Utsi, my friend Sami, an excellent craftsman.

[@marialaurasantamaria8109]

Beautiful documentary, share so many feelings, love it!

[@wandahwhetstone1587]

NATURE,S BEAUTIFULLY ACKNOWLEDGED CREATURES & OBLIDGED TO YUN & THE SAMI TRIBE BLESSINGS TO ALL HOW GREAT THOU ART🙏🤴💪🙌✌️💜💙💚💛🧡❤💯

[@loupfeu]

I hope you're fine. Jon seams to find his life difficult by moments, I understand he never tried a different life, but when I look at all the tools he has, lands & family, he has what I never had though I live in Quebec(Canada). We all have to do something for a living we have no choice, but we can choose where, when & with whom we take our rests.

In the past decade, where I live, we went from snow in the winter, to a few years where it was mostly ice storms, to the past 2 years, most if the storms were rain. If these people are still taking care of reindeer this year... it won't last much longer. With freezing rain, unlike with snow, you can't move across the ground very well at all, and animals can't break thru to eat.

[@Durga695]

What a magnificent documentary, such a sense of calm and serenity, while Yun endures heartbreak for the uncertainty of the future of his tradition, culture and way of life of his tribe. Yet the love for the reindeer and great open spaces still sustains him and his people. Since climate change is not being addressed as it should most of humanity will suffer dire consequences, in the coming decade.

[@BridgeportIPA]

Reindeer will have more plant life to eat due to massive greening of the Northern hemisphere. Carbon is, after all, plant food.

[@writethepath8354]

Brutal with the ice breaking

[@garnerjoyce606]

I don't know, friends did, 👍

[@alvinf6981]

Excellent video.

Gracias por el documental saludos desde Perú

[@mummler]

It makes me sad that they have pretty much lost their language, the true way they worshipped. As an American-sami I see the governments of Europe have done the same thing as the government in America. He's right, you shouldn't own the land that your people have been on for thousands of years. I'm just worried that you will lose that too.

[@JinxedAF]

The beginning reminded me of the Disney movie Frozen. SVEN AND SVEN.... I MEAN KRISTOFF LMAO

[@HUNTERHUNTER806]

Wows❤😍 I'd like to leave everything behind and live along with the Sami people, if they allowed me to join them... Awesome and simple lifestyle 😍😍😍 That's the kind of life I want to live... Just blissful 😍 Envious🙀😻 life they've got 😍

[@wandahwhetstone1587]

🥰🥰🥰😚

I like friend 🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@garnerjoyce606]

Difference, north eyes twitch & south nose twitches

[@carltauber2939]

What country (or countries) does Jon live in and what language is he speaking.

[@inlesinlet]

He's speaking Swedish sometimes, and other times Sámi. I cannot tell which Sámi language because I don't speak any myself, but based on his locations in Northern Sweden, I'd guess Northern Sámi :)

[@BridgeportIPA]

With more carbon in the atmosphere, we've seen an incredible greening of the Northern Hemisphere. In fact, the size of the formerly barren areas that now feature plant life is twice the size of the continental United States. Surely, the Sami will have much more food for their reindeer during Winter, as it is pretty clear that cold is their primary obstacle to finding food, not warmth.

[@inlesinlet]

I'm sorry, did you not pay attention? With the increase in winter temperatures, we lose the deep cold. We get "warm snaps" *in the middle of winter* where temperatures go above freezing, everything starts to melt, then suddenly it freezes again, and the entire mountain plateau, *all of the reindeer's herding grounds*, gets covered in impenetrable ice, and they cannot reach their food. This problem only arises because temperatures increase. Reindeer suffer. All arctic animals suffer. The entire ecosystem is in peril. Reindeer are excellently adapted to Arctic climates. They have no problems with the cold, or with digging food from under the snow. They've survived like that since, what did they say early in this video, since the mammoths roamed the Earth? And you think the cold is "their primary obstacle"? Really?

[@garnerjoyce606]

Just nerves

[@takuan650]

What a boring place - and life - but I snoozed well after about 15 minutes.

[@garnerjoyce606]

[@ΜπεττυΜπεττυ-δ6ρ]

tourism is destroyed

[@laaarry5533]

sami sounds like mongolian.

[@BridgeportIPA]

Except the Sami are doing it with Ski-Doos, semi trucks, helicopters, modern hunting rifles, and Gore-tex clothing.

[@garnerjoyce606]

In my mind: former Berbers

[@garnerjoyce606]

Similar Hawaiian

[@garnerjoyce606]

My understanding may or be truth
