Sami landscape

by Natasa Ilincic

“My house is not just my torvkåta, it’s every inch of the moorland on which our reindeer rest their hooves, the very lichen that nourishes them when the heavy snows cover everything. (…) To a stranger’s eyes this landscape may seem unwelcoming and barren, but to us it is just the opposite. No writings mark these lands, no signs distinguish them apart from one another. There are only our stories, our memories.”

– A Compendium of Witches, Rana’s story
