The Laplanders of Finland, also known as the Sámi people, refer to caribou as "reindeer." Reindeer hold significant cultural and economic importance for the Sámi, who traditionally rely on them for food, clothing, and transportation. The Sámi practice reindeer herding, which is an integral part of their heritage and lifestyle.
