Saami

The Sámi are an Indigenous people native to the Arctic region of northern Europe, primarily living in areas known as Sápmi, which spans parts of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia's Kola Peninsula. They have a unique culture, language, and traditional practices, including reindeer herding, fishing, and crafts. The Sámi have a distinct identity and history, with their own languages, which are part of the Uralic language family. Despite centuries of marginalization, they continue to preserve their cultural heritage and advocate for their rights, gaining recognition and increasing awareness of their contributions and challenges in the modern world.
