Tento dánsky umelec sa stal samoukom v oblasti etnografie a žil medzi príslušníkmi ľudu Sámov vo švédskom Laponsku počas prvých dvoch desaťročí 20. storočia. Jeho tvorba sa zameriava na hlboké pochopenie a umelecké stvárnenie života a kultúry tohto severského národa. Práce z tohto obdobia zachytávajú autentický obraz ich tradícií, zvykov a každodenného života s pozoruhodnou citlivosťou.
Emilie Demant Hatt's narrative recounts her immersive nine-month experience living with a Sami family in northern Sweden, highlighting her participation in a dramatic reindeer migration to Norway. As a single woman in her thirties, she delved into the Sami culture, capturing daily life, women's roles, and the care of reindeer through her journals, sketches, and photographs. This first English translation of her 1913 work includes additional insights from the translator and a foreword by Hugh Beach, enriching the portrayal of the Sami people and their Arctic landscape.
