Nordic Sami Council

The Nordic Sami Council is an organization that unites the Sami people’s representative bodies from Norway, Sweden, and Finland. It works to promote Sami interests, rights, culture, language, and identity across these countries. The Council serves as a forum for cooperation, fostering dialogue on issues affecting the Sami community. While it does not have legislative power, it influences policies and raises awareness about Sami concerns at the Nordic regional level. Its goal is to support Sami self-determination and ensure the preservation and development of Sami traditions and rights within the Nordic countries.
