Published in conjunction with the world-renowned Glenbow Museum. In the early 1900s, the Inuit of the western Arctic faced desperate times. Dependent on caribou meat and fur for thousands of years, the Native people found that the herds no longer behaved in a predictable way. With the change in climate, hunters were forced to travel several miles east in search of caribou. The Alaskan Reindeer Experiment and the Canadian Reindeer Project sought to mitigate the damage by importing and herding reindeer from Siberia. With the reindeer came Saami, Northern European and Siberian reindeer herders brought to teach the Inuit their successful techniques for survival. By the 1940s, the Pulk family were the only Saami remaining. Here, Lloyd Binder, the grandson of Mikkel Pulk, one of the first chief herders, tells his life story, as well as those of his father, Otto Binder, and mother, Ellen Pulk Binder, as he recounts the history, development and challenges of reindeer herders in Canada throughout the past century. THE GLENBOW MUSEUM is a world-class multidisciplinary institution that includes a permanent art collection, western Canada's largest museum, Canada's largest non-government archives and an unparalleled western Canada reference library. Located in Calgary, it is world-renowned for its innovative programming and exhibitions.

Sámi culture has undergone powerful changes recently. Traditions have been integrated with contemporary influences and perspectives. New kinds of Sámi participation and activism have evolved including innovative politics, informative media, expressive art and literature. Accommodating internal and external changes is nothing novel to the Sámi. The dialogue between what is traditional and what is modern is a natural part of their development towards the maintenance of Sámi cultural distinctness.

Dress helps us fashion identity, history, community, and place. Dress has been harnessed as a metaphor for both progress and stability, the exotic and the utopian, oppression and freedom, belonging and resistance. Dressing with Purpose examines three Scandinavian dress traditions—Swedish folkdräkt, Norwegian bunad, and Sámi gákti—and traces their development during two centuries of social and political change across northern Europe. By the 20th century, many in Sweden worried about the ravages of industrialization, urbanization, and emigration on traditional ways of life. Norway was gripped in a struggle for national independence. Indigenous Sámi communities—artificially divided by national borders and long resisting colonial control—rose up in protests that demanded political recognition and sparked cultural renewal. Within this context of European nation-building, colonial expansion, and Indigenous activism, traditional dress took on special meaning as folk, national, or ethnic minority costumes—complex categories that deserve reexamination today. Through lavishly illustrated and richly detailed case studies, Dressing with Purpose introduces readers to individuals who adapt and revitalize dress traditions to articulate who they are, proclaim personal values and group allegiances, strive for sartorial excellence, reflect critically on the past, and ultimately, reshape the societies they live in.
