A cultural history of Spmi and the Nordic countries as told through objects and artifacts Material objectsthings made, used, and treasuredtell the story of a people and place. So it is for the Indigenous Smi living in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, whose story unfolds across borders and centuries, in museums and private collections. The objects created by the Smi for daily and ceremonial use were purchased and taken by Scandinavians and foreign travelers in Lapland from the seventeenth century to the present, and the collections described in From Lapland to Spmi map a complex history that is gradually shifting to a renaissance of Smi culture and craft, along with the return of many historical objects to Spmi, the Smi homeland. The Smi objects first collected in Lapland by non-Indigenous people were drums and other sacred artifacts, but later came to include handmade knives, decorated spoons, clothing, and other domestic items owned by Smi reindeer herders and fishers, as well as artisanal crafts created for sale. Barbara Sjoholm describes how these objects made their way via clergy, merchants, and early scientists into curiosity cabinets and eventually to museums in Copenhage
