		The people live in symbiosis with reindeer, which they mainly use as a source of food.
		The Sami are an indigenous and nomadic people who for centuries have coped with living in the northern tundra areas of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia so they could follow the reindeer herds — their homelands, Sapmi, do not have rigidly defined frontiers and cross various countries.
		So the Sami have to follow them as they move around from colder to warmer areas; from land where there is no more of their favorite food, lichen, to places where the harsh winter has not yet killed everything off.
