And so with last night's snow and ice service, we began the historic market, or marknad. We spent some time exploring today. It was completely lovely to sit by a fire and look at hundreds of years of tradition all around us, including a fantastic choir who walked through the market in traditional dress. After spending some time outside, we went to the Ajtte museum to watch a film made by a Swedish woman about the Lakota in the U.S. There was a period of about forty- five minutes when I forgot that I was in Sweden and not in South Dakota where the film was made. In my opinion, the film did a very insightful job portraying what life is like for Native People in the U.S- At least from my knowledge anyway.
