A tourist visits an ice structure at the Santa Claus Village near Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland, on December 2, 2019. Rovaniemi's Santa Claus Village amusement park is a snow-covered wonderland of reindeer rides, ice castles, souvenir shops, snowmobiles and igloo hotels where Christmas holds sway 365 days a year. But Lapland is also the homeland of the indigenous reindeer-herding Sami people, who protest that some in the tourist industry spread offensive stereotypes about Sami people and seek to profit from their ancient culture.
