Loved this documentary 🙏🙏🙏

I love this documentary as much as I loved the singing. For better or worse, we all keep having to change our ways of life.

.....Agree ! wondered about the fragility of this way of life, its contradictions, its paradoxes, but also its wealth. !

The Film is really fascinating .Thanks so much.

It was wonderful, thank you so much for this program 🙏💖🧿🌟🌺💞🍀💚

You watch films like this and others on slice. People around the world, living real, fulfilling lives, with meaning intertwined with nature and the seasons. Then you consider the lives of most of us Americans. Pigeon holed into this and that. Permits, licenses, protocols, cages, debts. Do this, don't do that. You're lucky to just have a plot of land to be left alone on. Then zoning, taxes, etc. Where in the US can one be permitted to be a reindeer herder? Or any herder of large mammal in general. Travel hundreds of miles unencumbered? We "crush" peaks and shred gnar for thrills. While these people travel expanses for livelihood. Use their energy to move efficiently. Not, oh I'm going to send it to the top of that peak we're passing, rather, I'm going to stick with the herd and fully take in the sights of the peaks and truly appreciate them. Snowmobiles for purpose, not to just fly 90 mph and bar hop. Perhaps we, westerners, crush peaks and do these extreme outdoor recreations to replace the need for this kind of life. Can you imagine Jon on a mountain bike sending it down ridges where trails were scarred into the sides of mountains? It just doesn't add up does it? I'm not trying to bash our outdoor rec. I recognize the therapy and enjoyment it brings many including myself. I'm illustrating the stark contrast in lifestyle. Even the way Jon speaks. It's simple, humble. There's nothing flashy, outrageous, he's not trying to be anyone else then he is. He knows exactly who he is. There are very few people who do. There's such peace and love in that.

So beautiful. Thank you. Its very important that we do everything we can to prevent climate change from destroying earth’s natural beauty. 🌏♻️

Well done. I love this doc so much. I remember watching part of this years ago, and searched and found it did come out 2011. I'd love to have an update on Jon and his family and community now if anyone can do this.

Wow this is by far my favorite episode! ❤️❤️❤️

Such a beautiful and interesting documentary. . My heart was breaking for them when the reindeer fell through the ice. . The Sami language is lovely to listen to. Thank for this insight into their lives.

Beautiful and inspiring

Jon please do more documentary, would love to buy your merch.

Fascinating people. They are using many modern machines and tools to improve their lives and that’s probably why they still are able to live the way they want to. Every time the papa said, “The state” did this or that, I cringed. The greedy appropriate what they want all over the world. It’s not just a Western modus operandi. They’re doing well if they can afford a helicopter to pick up their moose. Jon’s workshop is impressive as well. I’m thankful they prosper, but my gosh, they work their tails off for it!!! I admire them!

Thanks again

Brilliant program 👍
