”Sacred mountains: At Tjamstanberget in Västerbotten, Sweden, there are many Sámi legends connected to sacred mountains, e.g. ättestupa, a steep rock face where old and infirm people were thrown or threw themselves down (Karlsson, 1999: 172–173).”

(The Diversity of Sacred Lands in Europe Proceedings of the Third Workshop of the Delos Initiative – Inari/Aanaar 2010 [pdf] / Edited by Josep-Maria Mallarach, Thymio Papayannis and Rauno Väisänen, sida 253)
