Page "Reindeer" Paragraph 2

Wild reindeer hunting and herding of semi-domesticated reindeer ( for meat, hides, antlers, milk and transportation ) are important to several Arctic and Subarctic peoples.

Even far outside its range, the reindeer is well known due to the myth, probably originating in early 19th century America, in which Santa Claus's sleigh is pulled by flying reindeer, a popular element of Christmas.

In Lapland, reindeer pull pulks.
