Story behind The Crane:
The Sámi people are one of the indigenous people of Scandinavia. Sami homeland reaches from Central Norway and Sweden through the northernmost part of Finland and into the Kola Peninsula. Culturally and economically, reindeer herding is the most important source of income for the Sami. Living of the nature has formed the original conceptions of the world among Sámi; the world view was animistic by nature, with shamanistic features. They believed that all objects in the nature had a soul. Therefore, everybody was expected to move quietly in the wilderness; shouting and making disturbance was not allowed. This beautiful concept still prevails among the Sámi.
People believed a valuable stone was hidden inside this bird, and in many areas the crane was regarded as bearer of good tidings from the gods.
