Sámi

The Sámi are an Indigenous people primarily residing in the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia's Kola Peninsula. They have a distinct culture, language, and traditional practices, including reindeer herding, fishing, and crafting. The Sámi languages belong to the Finno-Ugric family, with several variations. Historically, the Sámi have faced challenges such as assimilation and land rights issues. Today, they work to preserve their culture, languages, and heritage while advocating for their rights and recognition. The Sámi are a vibrant part of the Arctic's cultural diversity, embodying a deep connection to their natural environment.
