ALASKA 2000
I am working on a series of novels about the Saami/Laplander emigration to Alaska in 1894 and 1898. This summer I took a one month trip North to Alaska and Yukon in order to do some research on the subject.
The Last Frontier is still out there! I had a wonderful time during my stay in Alaska and The Yukon!

December 27.2001:
The novels about the Sami emigration to Alaska is released on March 4.2002. The delay is due to the fact that the Sami edition was posponed.
You can find lots of facts about this emigration in the documentary written by the Norwegian professor Ørnulf Vorren, title
"Saami, Gold and Reindeers in Alaska" (Davvi Girji, 1989).
