Tales of a Sea Sami –
I have mentioned on previous posts that my Father left me with several cassette tapes, and asked that I publish them somehow so that others can hear about his life growing up as a young child in Petsamo. AI technology has now advanced – to make this task possible.
I am starting to convert his tape recordings into digital format. I will be posting these onto YouTube as podcasts so these will be available on YouTube and YouTube music.
s I listened to my Father’s tales, I thought about what it must have been like for my Sámi grandmother – to spend the winters living in a dark turf hut, often getting snowed in. To use a small seal oil candle, stitching reindeer leather and knitting with her nalbinding needles – to make crafts she could sell in the spring to the ‘wealthy’ Sámi reindeer herders. Life must have been really really hard for them. But from my Dad’s perspective, it was just how it was, and they got on the best that they could – happy when they had caught a grouse, so they would have a bit of food to put into their mouths.
