Abstract

The article discusses sociology in Sami culture. The author examines the Sami, which are the indigenous people of Samiland, a territory that spans central Norway and Sweden. Sami society, which consists of almost 100,000 people, was traditionally organized by an extended family system. The author presents an overview of the ways in which gender issues arose in state government regulation of reindeer herding, which is one of the main traditional livelihoods of the Sami people. The government's failure to take into account women's roles in reindeer herding is analyzed.
