notes from Sápmi (non-identical twins)
Trondheim, Norway, 17th May (Norwegian Constitution Day) 2016, © Lise Utne
On Constitution Day, national costumes from all over the country -- and other parts of the world -- are lifted out of countless bedroom wardrobes for their annual excursion into fresh air. People are proud of their national costumes; they are very expensive and express belonging and tradition.
Trondheim lies in mid Norway, i.e. the southern part of Sápmi, but this national costume is from Finnmark up north, i.e. in northern Sápmi (Sápmi being the Saami area extending across mid-to-northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and north-western Russia.)
