"The deep and personal story-told through history, poetry, and images-of the forced displacement of the Sâami people from their homeland in northern Norway and Sweden and its reverberations today More than a hundred years have passed since the Sâami were forcibly displaced from their homes in northern Norway and Sweden, a hundred years since Elin Anna Labba's ancestors and relations drove their reindeer over the strait to the mainland for the last time. The place where they lived has remained empty ever since. We carry our homes in our hearts, Labba shares, citing the Sâami poet âAillohaés. How do you bear that weight if you were forced to leave?"--
