Per Thurri, Reindeer Herder

Per Thurri was the uncle of Matt Anderson, who was featured in yesterday's photo. Per was another of the Laplanders who came from Norway as a reindeer herder. Here he is tying two reindeer to a bush.

For those who don't visit the forum (you should), the following link was given there: Sami Alaska Chronology. There is a wealth of information about the Sami (Baiki) on that site.
