The words for “(tame) reindeer” in Finnish and Sami remind us of the astonishingly strong linguistic evidence that speakers of these languages were in close contact in prehistory with speakers of early *Iranian* languages! More at youtu.be/AbXUr85eq7g

"Hey folks, this is Tseavi, the reindeer here at Han Reindeer Farm, and you can come and meet Tseavi as well as Sven, a little baby you might see way in the back there, here at Han Reindeer Farm for Christmas in July, which starts Friday. Yeah. So check them out and check out a long video that I've got on YouTube right now that gets into the etymology of Tseavi's name, which comes from Northern Sami, and the surprising connection that the word for reindeer in Sami and Finnish shows between an amazing network of languages all across Europe and Asia."

As a doctor, I’ve seen the health impacts of our housing crisis. These 30 social homes have sat empty for a year while locals live on the streets and in cars. It is clear National is out of touch with the needs of Kiwis. Napier deserves a Labour MP who will stand up for our community.
