The sledge

Geres also belongs to the group of artefacts that is connected to reindeer herding. The different types of sledges are ráidogeres (transporting sledges tied together in a row pulled by the reindeer), lohkkegeres (the sledge with lid for transporting food) and vuodjingeres (the sledge that transports people). The crosspieces were decorated or decoration was also carved directly on the sledges. Today, only the old people remember how to make sledges, or how the sledges were used. In order to revive this skill, courses are held in which these old people who still remember give advice to the new sledge makers.
