Reindeer herding is a traditional practice primarily associated with the indigenous peoples of the Arctic, such as the Sámi in Scandinavia. It involves the management and care of reindeer, which are semi-domesticated animals that provide food, clothing, and materials for shelter. Herding is often done on vast, open lands where reindeer can graze on lichen and other vegetation. Herders use various techniques to guide and protect their herds, including the use of trained dogs and seasonal migrations to find better grazing areas. This practice is not only vital for the herders' livelihoods but also plays a significant role in their cultural identity and heritage.
