  Beschreibung

  Hello! We are a Sámi reindeer-herding family living in the heart of northern Sweden. Our home base is Jokkmokk, a small and charming inland town, but during winter our reindeer graze in winter pastures along the coast near Luleå.
  
  We live a semi-nomadic lifestyle rooted in the traditions of our Indigenous people. Reindeer are at the heart of our lives. We follow the herd and move with the reindeer according to the seasons and grazing conditions.
  
  We welcome help with our daily activities and would love to share our unique way of life with you. You will have the opportunity to experience life as a traditional Sámi reindeer herder in the Arctic north.
  
  Our extended family includes children, members of our *siida* (our reindeer-herding community), cousins and elders. Different generations work together, each contributing according to their own abilities. This way of sharing responsibilities and supporting one another is an important part of Sámi life and culture.
  
  Life here means real Arctic winters, distinctive food traditions, close connections to nature, and a way of life shaped by the reindeer and the changing seasons. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing a little of our world with you!

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  With us, you will have the opportunity to experience and learn about the traditional way of life of Sweden’s Indigenous people. We have a unique Sámi culture that we are happy to share with you, including our languages, traditional food, clothing (*gákti*), handicrafts (*duodji*), reindeer herding, and everyday life in the Arctic.
  
  You will also get to experience life outdoors in extreme winter conditions and learn how we adapt to the changing seasons and the challenges of the Arctic environment.
  
  Above all, we hope to share our relationship with nature, our reindeer, and one another — an important part of our Sámi way of life.

  Arbeit

  We are looking for help with our private family life and everyday routines at home. The help we seek through Workaway is not connected to business activities.
  
  Tasks will vary depending on the season and may include cooking, preparing food, household chores, shovelling snow and helping make sure the children get to school. We heat our home with wood, so bringing in firewood and helping keep the house warm is also part of everyday life. We also appreciate help with small DIY projects and repairs around our home.
  
  Our lives revolve around the reindeer. Reindeer herding shapes our daily routines and connects us to our Sámi culture, language and traditions. Staying with us is an opportunity to share in our family life and learn about this connection.
