XI. Read and answer
The Lapps live in northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland. There are only about 32,000 of them, and most of them
live a modern life on the coast or in the forests. Only a few of them live a traditional life. These few mountain Lapps
are called nomads because they move from one place to another with their reindeer. Their life is almost the same as
it was a thousand years ago.
In winter, the reindeer dig through the snow to find plants for their food. In spring these plants become very dry, and
there are lots of insects. Then the Lapps move their reindeer to the coast. The deer live on the thick grass there until
winter. When the snow becomes deep, the Lapps and their reindeer begin moving slowly back to their winter homes.
There is less snow there.
These nomads live in tents because they move so often. They make shoes, jackets and pants of reindeer skin. They
also wear beautiful blue and red traditional clothes. They walk or travel on skis, and they have sleds pulled by reindeer.
The long trips, often in stormy weather, make life very hard for these nomads. More and more people are staying in
villages on the coast. Sometimes a mother and her children travel by car and meet the father in the winter home.
There will probably be no more Lapp nomads in the future. People want a comfortable life. However, the Lapps will
probably always wear their traditional clothes on holidays. They will teach their children the old stories and songs.
People do not want to forget their traditions.
