The family was lucky to go on a hike led my local Tonje Tunold through the Asebakti heritage trail where Indigenous Sámi lived and hunted there thousands of years ago.

One interesting fact is how Sámi people used to hunt wild reindeer by digging pits and trapping reindeer inside. The walked showed evidence showed evidence of those pits as well as rocky mounds scientists believe could have been used as fire places or sacrificial sites.

More than 1,000 years ago, the Sámi people of northern Norway dug pits up to two metres deep to trap wild reindeer.

Members of the World Indigenous Broadcasters Network learned about this ancient hunting practice while walking the Ássebákti Nature and Culture Trail in Karasjok.

This week the WIBN family was treated with a river adventure in Kárášjohka that led to dinner in a lavvu! It was a beautiful trip and we loved learning about the history of the Sámi people who have used this river for travel and gathering food.

The Lavvu is a temporary dwelling used by the Sámi people. Its simplicity enabled the Sámi to move quickly with their semi-domesticated reindeer herds at a moment's notice.
