Sjoholm presents several translated excerpts of Emilie Demant Hatt's travel memoirs in the Swedish Lapland. More specifically, the excerpts are taken from near the beginning of With the Lapps in the High Mountains (1913), and describe experiences shortly after Demant Hatt arrived in the Swedish Lapland by train in June of 1907. In the first excerpt, "Setting Out," Demant Hatt writes of staying with Finnish settlers in Kattuvuoma before crossing the Torneträsk Lake to Laimolahti, where a small Sami community had one of their summer encampments. Among other scenic observations, it is also interesting to note that the Finns and the Sami shared religious beliefs, namely the Laestadian faith. For this purpose, one of the Sunday services is described in "Sundays," the second excerpt.

Fast-forward to 2003: That's when Sterling College came on board as the center's administrative sugar daddy. Last year, the 35-year-old Northern Studies major morphed into "Circumpolar Studies." Now enrolling six students, the program is one of four courses of study that lead to B.A. degrees at the 105-student private college, along with Conservation Ecology, Outdoor Education & Leadership and Sustainable Agriculture. Sterling scholars also travel to Labrador, Newfoundland and Lapland. "Now, we have much more variability within the group of students who take courses here," [Steve Young] reflects. "And that's healthy. For 21-year-old Tony Dalisio, that feeling is mutual. Hanging in the dining hall after class, he can't stop singing Young's and [Dick Smyth]'s praises - even while sca...
