While overcoming the first shock of the Sápmi dark season – skábma – I’m posting a link to an interesting article on reindeer and Santa… A story on “Flying Reindeer and Santa Claus: Fact, Fiction and Myth.”

very interesting article by Phillip! It is a very good read on exposing the facts, the politics, the fiction-creating and the commercialism of Santa and the reindeer. I will save the link for next time I teach my Consumer Culture class!
thanks to Phillip for doing the work of researching this and writing it up.
Are you btw in Kautokeino now for the holidays?
what about Niko? Have you seen it and what is your analysis of it? I’m assuming this is not a Sami production…..
