Part I of my adventures.

"Till min Vn
Jag vandar till stranden-satter mig ner
Mot snoskldda toppar et lyster jag ser
Sidenskimmer-som smeket fjallen.
P kvllenshimmeln ser jag ett rdlila band
som bryts mot hstens frger i brand,
Djupnande frger i kvallen.
I det sagolikt vackra-jag ser upp
kommer tanker i stillhetens stund till mig d
Idel fragor - varfr r det just s.
Varfr mste man Skiljas frn en vn?
Frn den vn som fngat ens tanker.
Som skapat en djupare knsla- som som man bundits av.
Mts vi bara pa en anhalt i livet
Har detta mtet en djupare mening?
Varfr mttes just du och Jag?
Vad gjrde cart mte annarlunda?
Var vi rliga mot varandra eller glmde vi pa det kta.
Utan att vga visa det.
Hur knde vi avskedsgonblicket?
Vor den stunden kta i knslan?
Fastn vi intet sa - tror jag det var s.
Om vi ters mts - kommer knslan att varar
lika som vid vrt farvl?
Om det r s - varfr mots vi igen?
Vem styr vra liv? - vi mste ju ter skiljas
Varfr blev det just Du - den vn jag mste skiljas ifrn.
Dikt av Fiskesamen Hjalmer berg frn Bjorkudden vid sjn Langas. "

If you are in Jokkmokk, then you have passed the Arctic Circle which Crosses Highway 97 as well as Highway 45. North of the Arctic Circle one can see the midnight sun during the summer and midday darkness during the winter.

Jokkmokk is a Smi word. Originally, it was the name of a group of The Forest Smi who had their winter settlement near the Talvatis Lake. Jokkmokk means a bend in the stream.

The Smi are a people who live in what is now four countries: Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia. The area in which the Smi live is what they call Spmi. They have their own flag, national holiday and national song.. There are approximately 20,000 Smi in Sweden. About 750 of them live in the district of Jokkmokk.

The town of Jokkmokk dates from the beginning of the 17th century when King Charles IX of Sweden decided to create churches and marketplaces in the north. His goal was to extend the kingdom to the north, and control the trade in Lapland and in this way impose taxes to help finance his wars. This was the origin of the Jokkmokk market which was held for the first time in 1605. Not until the 1960's these Samis where allowed to live in the center of Jokkmokk. Forty years later they are the biggest exporters of Jokkmokk. Their winter market in February will be 400 years old this year.

In the late 19th century, the population of Jokkmokk consisting mainly of Smi, changed. The arrival of settlers and hydroelectric power builders made Jokkmokk a important factor. The District of Jokkmokk is on the Arctic Circle and is Swedens next largest district in size. The total surface is 19474 km.

In other words, 2/3 the size of the Netherlands, or about ten times larger than Luxembourg.
