In Finland, reindeer herding is practiced under 54 different co-operatives called \u201cpaliskunta\u201d, which are also vast geographical regions where the reindeer of that specific co-operative graze and where the reindeer herders work. Reindeer herding in practise has evolved around the natural behaviour of the reindeer and the natural conditions, and modern technology (such as GPS collars, motorized transportation, drones etc.) is utilized where it generates benefits. Also societal and environmental processes outside the actual reindeer herding have a massive impact on the livelihood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"element-heading\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-roundup-season\">Roundup Season <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"regular-block\">\n<p>The most intense time of the year for reindeer herders is late autumn when the reindeer roundups take place. All reindeer co-operatives have their own roundup fences. For someone not acquainted with the traditional S\u00e1mi reindeer herding, this fence looks like a gigantic maze in the middle of the wilderness, with several small huts located nearby. What is then this process called \u201creindeer roundup\u201d? Co-operatives may have some differences between their practices, but in this article, I describe the roundup process as it is done in the reindeer co-operative of Paistunturi, a wilderness area in northernmost Finland, in Utsjoki municipality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_UTSJOKI_WINTER_REINDEER_ROUNDUP_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-DJI_0609-1-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Poroerotusaita Karigasniemess\u00e4\" class=\"wp-image-52647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_UTSJOKI_WINTER_REINDEER_ROUNDUP_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-DJI_0609-1-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_UTSJOKI_WINTER_REINDEER_ROUNDUP_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-DJI_0609-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_UTSJOKI_WINTER_REINDEER_ROUNDUP_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-DJI_0609-1-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_UTSJOKI_WINTER_REINDEER_ROUNDUP_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-DJI_0609-1-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_UTSJOKI_WINTER_REINDEER_ROUNDUP_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-DJI_0609-1-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_UTSJOKI_WINTER_REINDEER_ROUNDUP_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-DJI_0609-1-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_UTSJOKI_WINTER_REINDEER_ROUNDUP_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-DJI_0609-1-900x505.jpg 900w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_UTSJOKI_WINTER_REINDEER_ROUNDUP_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-DJI_0609-1-1440x809.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_UTSJOKI_WINTER_REINDEER_ROUNDUP_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-DJI_0609-1-1600x898.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_UTSJOKI_WINTER_REINDEER_ROUNDUP_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-DJI_0609-1-1920x1078.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_UTSJOKI_WINTER_REINDEER_ROUNDUP_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-DJI_0609-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The roundup fence near Karigasniemi, Utsjoki municipality.

New calves are born in May, and for the whole summer, the reindeer have been moving freely within the co-operative\u00b4s area in the wilderness, finding food from the nature. The mating season of the reindeer is in September. During the mating season, the male reindeer assemble female reindeer into smaller groups (this group of reindeer is called <em>eallu<\/em>). The reindeer herders time the roundups right in the end of the mating season, to utilize these ready-made groups of reindeer. In Paistunturi, there are about 6.000-7.000 reindeer plus the new calves born in May. The herders assemble reindeer from the wilderness with snowmobiles, ATV\u00b4s, dogs and drones, steering the movement of the reindeer towards the roundup area. Herders move the reindeer in groups of about 1.000-2.000 reindeer at a time. This process of gathering the reindeer is called <em>\u010dohkket<\/em>. This requires expertise and experience, as the herders lead this huge group of wild animals for tens of kilometres in the wilderness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poroerotus_kokoaminen-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Porojen kokoaminen tunturissa\" class=\"wp-image-52651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poroerotus_kokoaminen-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poroerotus_kokoaminen-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poroerotus_kokoaminen-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poroerotus_kokoaminen-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poroerotus_kokoaminen-2-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poroerotus_kokoaminen-2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poroerotus_kokoaminen-2-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poroerotus_kokoaminen-2-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poroerotus_kokoaminen-2-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poroerotus_kokoaminen-2-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poroerotus_kokoaminen-2.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Assembling the reindeer in Paistunturi wilderness area.

The <em>girdnu<\/em> fits about 50 reindeer at a time, so there are several consecutive groups that are handled. 1,5-year-old female reindeer (<em>vuonjal<\/em>) and adult, male reindeer with big antlers, are all recognized from the earmark, registered and separated from the smaller calves and other adult reindeer, and given a medicine to prevent parasites, and they are let back loose to the fells. &nbsp;Also other adult reindeer are recognized from the earmark and all herders paint their initials and a number on the reindeer skin, with colourful spray paint developed for marking sheep. The calves born in May do not have an earmark yet, so during the first round, they only receive a collar with a number label. The smaller calves and other adult reindeer are then put back to the bigger observing fence (<em>geah\u010dadallan\u00e1idi<\/em>), where all herders observe the movement of the reindeer. Calves usually follow their mothers, so this is how the herders recognize which calves belong to their group of reindeer. The herders write down the numbers of their reindeer and calves.

The antlers and skin of the reindeer can be used for traditional S\u00e1mi handicrafts and utility articles, such as jewellery, shoes and reindeer hides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967-900x601.jpg 900w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967-1440x961.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967-1600x1068.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967-1920x1282.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/staging.laplandnorth.fi\/app\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LAPLANDNORTH_LOCAL_HANDICRAFT_ILMARI_TAPIOLA_ExploreUtsjoki-KotaCollectivePhoto-2967.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Reindeer herder and craftsman Ilmari Tapiola uses reindeer antlers for jewellery and utility articles.
