“Laplander.” This woman’s portrait was taken at Ellis Island in 1910, as she was trying to immigrate to the United States. It is unknown if she succeeded.
She was photographed in her own clothing, wearing a gákti, the traditional costume of the Sámi people of the Arctic regions spanning from northern Norway to the Kola Peninsula in Russia. Traditionally made from reindeer leather and wool, velvet and silks are also used. The pullover, her main piece of clothing, was typically blue.
