I have added translations into several other languages such as English, French, Spanish and many others – these are as CC – Closed Caption.

Episode Summary:

In the 2nd episode, my Sámi father describes his early days of living in northern Sápmi, Lapland in the early 1900’s. He describes their life of living in a turf hut,
ice fishing,
hunting seals in order to survive,
how they collected the seal oil for their seal oil lamps,
how they built a savu sauna,
and the adventures of building a new sauna water heater
