The Sami people are sometimes nomadic, and sometimes sedentary. In this case, I went to Norway to investigate them in 2003. It was June and the Sami, at the beginning of summer, were nomadic, as they took their reindeer (their main product) to the valley to eat. In the winter, they take them to the top of the mountain to eat the moss that grows under the snow, their winter food. The rest of the year, the Sami are sedentary.
