Sami in Alaska
The Sami were first brought to Alaska in order to teach reindeer husbandry to the Inuit. The U.S. government encouraged this immigration beginning in 1894 to 1898, so that Alaska Natives would rely on reindeer rather than seal, walrus, and whale hunting. Reindeer are not native to Alaska and had to be imported from Norwegian Finnmark in Lapland.
