Question

Reindeer is called “The Cow of the Far North”. For what purpose is it kept and utilised?

Answer 1

Called “the Cow of the Far North,” the reindeer is domesticated by Arctic peoples and kept primarily as a source of food and materials for milk and meat and as a beast of burden used to pull sledges and provide transport across ice and snow. Its skins supply clothing and tent covers, while bones and sinews are fashioned into tools, so the animal is central to subsistence, transport, and material culture in the tundra.
