Sunna & Laila, from the series Sámi, the people

I have seen the Arctic as a place where the extremes play out in the daily lives of the people that inhabit this land. It is a place where man has learned to adapt to the environment that surrounds him rather than adapting the environment to him. Here I found the Sámi, which translates to ‘The People.’ They are the indigenous people living in the Arctic Circle region of northern Scandinavia and it is the largest area in the world with an ancestral way of life based on the seasonal migrations of the animals. The Sámi are by tradition reindeer herders and live a nomadic lifestyle based on the reindeer migration.

Memory’s not infinite. If I look at this pitted and pocked wall microscopically enough the visual data would fill my brain entirely. Against this, boredom and reflex and generalization protect me. If I call up the wall in memory, some generic version will be made up— I never see nothing, I never see gaps or error messages where I have forgotten or mistaken. Same even with those cherished early memories: we call up a sketch, fill in the blanks, and store it again, changed. There is no virgin past. The mind is like one of those floating islands of vegetation whose roots grasp not the earth but each other.

The period of years we are being asked to think about stretches from 1998 to 11,998;… or from 2010 until 12,010. Now, if one were to write the numbers 11,998 and 12,010 on every blackboard in America, how many people would guess that they referred to dates?
