    I've seen this one too! These are great! Thanks for posting it. It's cool how they can make them move.

    Poor Lucie M. Kant. To lose all your children and husband, as well as living half blind sounds like a very difficult life. She lived a very long life, too.

    I didn't know how people were put on display like that back in the day in exhibition zoos. "Kant family and other Sami families were put behind high wooden fences and presented to the public. Although they got paid, it must have been a humiliating experience."

    During that timeframe, in addition to indigenous peoples being exhibited like in a zoo, there was also the Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show touring Europe.

    Would be interesting to see those characters come alive as well, but by indigenous artists themselves who can bring more insight into them.

    It is so lovely of you to see the human suffering through it all.

    I do not know why, but this image is like a dagger through my heart:


    It reminds me of our hunter-gatherer past.
    An Australian Aboriginal enters the Forest, as Totality, you are but a part of (just like 'we' do).

    I know what you mean. These pictures hold a lot of emotion. They did not live an easy life and I am inspired by their will to keep moving forward.

    Wow, i like this a lot... "An Australian Aboriginal enters the Forest, as Totality, you are but a part of (just like 'we' do)."

    I like it very Lappid look and his eyes reflect a hard life, its touching. I am very fond of Saami people and culture too, wanted to study their ethnography but couldnt due to pandemics. I try to read about them from different sources like this one:
