The Sámi Assembly

The Sámi Assembly is a regional governing body representing the Sámi people, the indigenous inhabitants of parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. It serves as a platform for advocating Sámi rights, culture, and language, coordinating efforts among Sámi communities, and liaising with national governments. The Assembly aims to protect Sámi interests and promote their unique identity within the broader national context, functioning as an important institution for cultural preservation and political representation in the Sámi homeland.
