The Sami people cared deeply for nature and lived in harmony with it. This unity with nature can be traced in all spheres of activity, and everyday life was no exception. Using the gifts of nature, the Sami provided themselves with everything they needed.

The Kola Sami used pine bark and roots. They stripped the bark from the tree with a special bone tool. Then, using another pointed bone tool, they scraped off its inner white layer (phloem) and dried it over the fire. After that it was pounded, mixed with a small portion of rye flour and eaten. This pine porridge was usually eaten with fish or meat soup.

The book “Life, customs and myths of the Kola Sami in the past and present” by Nadezhda Pavlovna Bolshakova tells about the use of pine gruel by the Sami,

[Pine gruel flavored with fish oil] was eaten mainly in lean years. To make this gruel, the Sami stocked up on pine bark from the fall. The white inner layer was removed from the tree and hung over the fire to dry, after which it was pounded, mixed with flour, and if there was no flour, it was boiled, with the addition of vegetable oil.

The Sami people used to dye fishing nets with pine bark paint to make them less visible.

At first glance, there is nothing remarkable about pine roots. However, the Sami learned to make household items and ropes from them. They wove baskets from the roots, harvesting them in the warm season, which allowed them to retain their flexibility. The weaving was so strong that the baskets made of pine roots did not allow water to leak.

The Sami were engaged in reindeer herding and fishing, and all these activities were impossible without rope: it was used to make lassos and nets. A lasso is a special rope that was used to catch reindeer by throwing it over their antlers, around their necks or under their feet. Later, ropes for lassos were made of hemp.

One of the uses of rope in the economy is fishing. A special rope with birch bark floats was made for it, which was attached to the upper edge of the net and kept the structure in a vertical position.
