Sjækra

Northern Jämtland reaches into the mountains and lake country near Norway. Sámi presence here is recorded in medieval sources, while the tax mountains of Frostviken later formed part of their recognised lands. Reindeer grazing, hunting and fishing linked valleys, forests and uplands through the seasons. At the peace of Brömsebro in 1645, Jämtland passed from Denmark-Norway to Sweden, placing these mountain lands under a different crown.
