When Robert Crottet first went to Sucnjel, the winter village of the Scolt Lapps in northern Finland, he made the mistake of asking to hear some of their legends. He was at first met with polite evasions. Only when he had encountered the great black reindeer in the snow did he win the confidence of Kaissa, his hostess; and she told him many of their tribal stories.
