Summary

…In recent years, dog sledding has become a symbol of Europe’s far north—known as Sápmi to the nearly 100,000 Indigenous Sámi who live there. In fact, a 2018 report by Animal Tourism Finland found 4,000 huskies working in Finnish Lapland alone. The problem? “Dog sledding was borrowed from other cultures and transplanted to Lapland’s tourism scene in the 1980s,” says Tuomas Aslak Juuso, president of Finland’s Sámi Parliament, the representative body for the roughly 10,000 Sámi who live in the country. “It is not a part of Sámi or Finnish culture.”

Besides being culturally inauthentic, dog sledding creates tension with Sámi reindeer herders. Unleashed or escaped dogs risk frightening, mauling, and killing reindeer. “Dog sledding activity is also considered a culturally invasive alien species,” Juuso adds, “causing ecological, financial, health, and social harm to traditional Sámi livelihoods that are originally part of our northern nature.”
