Summary |
"Kolttain mailta: Kansatieteellisiä kuvauksia Kuollan-Lapista" by Samuli Paulaharju is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work explores the culture, history, and lifestyle of the Sámi people, specifically the Koltalis in the Kuolla region of Lapland. Through a series of detailed descriptions and personal experiences, the author aims to document the unique characteristics of this lesser-known community and its environment. The opening of this text provides an introduction to Paulaharju's early encounters with the Koltali Sámi and his subsequent travels in the Kuolla region. He reflects on his experiences and the insights gained during excursions in the early 1910s, detailing the natural landscapes and cultural aspects discovered during his observations. Emphasizing the isolation of the Koltali Sámi and their rich cultural heritage, Paulaharju highlights the sparse existing literature on the region and expresses his intent to contribute to its documentation. The narrative reveals a blend of personal anecdote and ethnographic detail that sets the stage for understanding the lives of the Koltalit and their unique relationship with the harsh yet beautiful wilderness of Lapland.
