Vi får inte glömma vårt sammanhang, att vi en gång var likvärdiga med djuren. Vi kanske inte är medvetna om det, men i våra hjärtan bevarar vi kanske minnet av en djup vänskap med djuren. Vi kanske är sorgsna över att vi är skilda från allt annat levande, en gemenskap som vi kanske aldrig mer kan finna. Boken handlar om djuren i Sápmi, både gamla myter, fabler och sagor, men också fakta och intressanta sanningar om samernas heliga djur. Rikt illustrerad av författarinnan.
