I have found a few short mentions about the sami beliefs or stories about the loss of the first tooth as a child.
Schefferus, also in English: The history of Lapland (orig.
1674), chapter 26: Of their childbearing. He refers to Samuel Rheen and in the book:
En kortt relation om lapparnes lefwarne och sedher,... (Uppsala 1897) Rheen writes about that belief at least on page 9 in chapter: Om barnssens Vpfostrande och vptuchtellsse and on page 14 in the chapter: Huru the inbördes ärfwa hwar...
The child gets a reindeer of his own from the person who first sees the first tooth.
T.I Itkonen writes about the thing in Suomen lappalaiset
part 2, p. 394. He tells the same story about the gift to
the child: The father of the child gives the child a… |

| Do you have a recipe or instructions how to make viili starter (pohjapiimä) from ingredients available in the U.S.? |

In Finland there are two kinds of viilis:the short and the long one, which is more "stretching". For the short viili You can make the starter. Look at: http://www.home-media.com/camdenews/recipe.htm and http://www.futurefoods.com/ --->information sheet --->Ferments.
But for the long viili it is more difficult. You could ask for more information from Valio. The Internet adress is: http://www.valio.fi/index.shtml

You must first renew or return the loans.
Only then will you be able to pay the accrued fines.
You can also renew your loans by telephone. Instead of a card number, you can use your social security number.
If the books are reserved, they can not be renewed. |

There are some large print editions of books. You can check their availability in Helmet by using search words such as "large print" or isotekst*.
Here are the search results:

Unfortunately there isn't children's books about diabetes in english in Helmet libraries (Helsinki Metropolitan Area Libraries): children's books about the subject are available only in finnish and swedish. The search on the database of The Finnish Institute for Children’s Literature didn't bring results either.
There seem to be a few books you are looking for in international online stores. There is also three free self made books about diabetes under the following site: http://grandmasandy.org/books-info.html
