Reindeer herder of Scandinavia (4)

I believe the answer is:

lapp

(Other definitions for lapp that I've seen before include "Indigenous person" , "A North Scandinavian" , "Native of northern Scandinavia" , "Nomadic inhabitant of northern Scandinavia" , "Someone from Father Christmas's country?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
