EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Helene Edlund in the late 1890s, captures Inga Åren, a woman from Frostviken in Lapland, Sweden, proudly wearing her traditional Sami folk costume. The image was likely taken in a studio setting, as evidenced by the backdrop of rocks and the woman's leaning pose on an elbow. The Sami people, also known as Lapps or Laplanders, are an indigenous Finno-Ugric ethnic group traditionally inhabiting the Arctic region of Sápmi, which spans parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. The Sami folk costume, or "gákti," is a reflection of their rich cultural heritage and is characterized by its distinctive design elements. The costume includes a long, full-length dress made of colorful textiles, often adorned with intricate patterns and embroidery. A hat, or "gákti guovddas," is worn on the head, and a walking stick, or "birahkka," is carried for support. The woman in the photograph wears her hair long and loose, with a simple headband holding back a few strands. The photograph is an important historical document, providing a glimpse into the traditional clothing and customs of the Sami people during the nineteenth century. It is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of indigenous cultures, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating cultural heritage. The photograph is now part of the Nordiska Museet Foundation's collection in Stockholm, Sweden, and is a valuable resource for anthropologists, ethnologists, and anyone interested in the history and folklore of Scandinavia.
