TALES OF A SEA SAMI – 3
Tales of a Sámi 1914-1917 (Age 8-11)
Young Salomon’s Mother gets very ill during the War and is placed into long term care in a hospital. Salomon is sent to live with family. Who send him to live with foster parents

My father was a Sea Sámi. My father tells a story of his experiences growing up during the war years in Northern Finland, along the Finnish / Russian border. These are his words, originally recorded onto cassette tapes.
He asked me to record and publish them some day so that others would know what life was like for a young Sami boy living in the bigger world. I have transcribed his words into English (subtitles) and did my best to find images through online digital resources that depict life in those times.
