Reindeer herding is a major occupation in Enonteki\u00f6:<\/strong>\u00a0there are close to 18 000 reindeer here. They are semi-wild, living freely in nature, but still someone\u2019s legal property. Their ear marks are proof of ownership. Marking the fawns requires gathering up the reindeer into herds. Herding them to the marking site is a challenging task that calls for a keen understanding of nature and reindeer, something that has been passed down along the generations. Admittedly, modern technology, such as GPS and snowmobiles, has made the task easier. People\u2019s lives revolve around the reindeer\u2019s annual cycle<\/strong>. The key events are fawning, marking and the annual round-up. Learn more reindeer facts.<\/a><\/p>

Reindeer are also an integral part of handicrafts here. Their antlers and bones have been used to make utensils and jewellery for as long as people have herded them. Their tanned leather is used in clothes, bags, pouches and shoes. The traditional willow bark tanning process gives the leather a beautiful fawn hue. The long process also makes the leather lovely and soft.<\/p>

Nature provides<\/h4>

Living off the land through hunting, fishing and foraging is a normal source of livelihood in Enonteki\u00f6. Especially cloudberries and grouse<\/strong> are in high demand, which the locals don\u2019t mind. Lapland\u2019s Arctic conditions and Midnight Sun pack the local berries, herbs and vegetables full of nutrients.<\/p>
