"Taka-Lappia" by Samuli Paulaharju is a travelogue and ethnographic work written in the early 20th century. The book explores the geography, culture, and peoples of Lapland, focusing particularly on the Sami community and their connection to the land and nature. The narrative is intertwined with Paulaharju's personal travel experiences in the northern Finnish wilderness." "The beginning of "Taka-Lappia" recounts the author's journeys through Taka-Lappi and Inari, where he immersed himself in the
landscapes and traditions of the Sami people. Paulaharju shares insights from his travels, describing the vast and varied terrain, including the mountains and lakes, while also highlighting the interactions he had with local inhabitants. His narrative touches on the oral history and cultural practices of the Sami, drawing from conversations with both young and old members of the community, thus setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their way of life in the wild and remote regions of Lapland."
