Visiting Circumpolar Eurasia
Respectful tourism is helpful to the Reindeer Peoples because it employs them, brings them money, and gets their existence, their culture, and their predicaments known first-hand to the rest of the world. These organizations range from standard travel agencies who specialize in this area to non-profits that work directly with the natives and do selective tourism along with their other human-service programs.
