Sámi Parliament (Finland)

The Sámi Parliament of Finland is a representative body established in 1995 to advocate for the rights, culture, and interests of the Sámi people, Finland’s indigenous population. Located in Inari, it works to influence policies on language, education, and land rights, ensuring Sámi perspectives are considered in decision-making. While it has limited legislative powers, it serves as a platform for cultural preservation and political representation, fostering collaboration between Sámi communities and governmental authorities to support their social and economic well-being.
