Hanjo Schlüter, Jokkmokk 1999 The Sami see themselves as part of nature in which all parts are equal. On the supernatural level, their shamans see the beings of nature, i. e. animals as well as whole eco-systems, as equal to mankind. They can communicate with them and even learn from them. Mythology confirms that the Sami learned their way of living, their culture, from the wild reindeer – not in the sense of trial and error, but through teaching via the supernatural level. Religious duties do not seem to be dominant in culture shaping. As the supernatural level, as far as the communication with nature is concerned, is not to be considered as transcendent or part of religion, it is concluded that a sustainable way of living can be achieved just by observation and understanding. However, mythology also states that the Sami exploited resources in a dangerous way and thus took the risk of losing their old hunter culture simply because the wild reindeer would disappear. Be it as it may, the replacing herder culture was sustainable as well. Parts of the old shamanic concept of nature are still alive today.
