Joel M. Halpern sits in a boat with Nils Gaup, a 40-year old Sami man, who is paddling. In the background are buildings nestled among the trees. This photograph was taken by Lutheran Pastor Lennart Wallmark, principal of the Sami folk high school in Jokkmokk from 1942 to 1972. He invited Joel M. Halpern to accompany him on his tour into the Sami villages, and sent the set of prints to Halpern back in the U.S.
