Reindeer in my Saami Heart.
Australian director Janet Merewether.s new documentary Reindeer In My Saami Heart will have its world premiere tomorrow evening at Palace Cinemas. Volvo Scandinavian Film Festival in Sydney.
Reindeer in my Saami Heart follows the story of writer and performer Inghilda Tapio, one of the last generation of Saami reindeer herders born to nomadic parents in Saapmi, Sweden's Arctic Circle.
Inghilda is a member of Sweden's own .stolen generation., forced by the Swedish government to attend residential boarding schools in the early 1950s and removed from her family for months at a time from the age of seven.
Despite these challenges, Inghilda continued on to university to become a poet, performer, teacher and international representative for Saami writers.
Inghilda's Saami community has survived centuries of attempted cultural assimilation and Christian indoctrination by the Swedes, and now faces new threats posed by mining, forestry and hydroelectric development.
