An impression in sound and music
The nomad Laplander depends on the reindeer for his clothing and food, even for milk. It is virtually life to him ; he must defend it and himself against their common enemy the wolf, and he drives with dogs enormous herds about the snow-decked highlands in the summer and the sheltered valleys in the winter in search of the moss that is essential to the well-being of the animal he cannot do without.
In this programme, which comes from a studio in Stockholm, an attempt will be made to describe the life of the Lapps-often dangerous, often dramatically exciting. Listeners will hear records of sound and music which were made when the Swedish broadcasters recently visited the Laplanders to get material for this broadcast.
