The Sámi are an indigenous people primarily found in the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. They have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional practices such as reindeer herding, handicrafts, and unique music styles like joik. The Sámi language is part of the Finno-Ugric language family and consists of several dialects. Historically, the Sámi have faced challenges related to their land rights and cultural preservation. Today, they continue to advocate for their rights and promote their traditions, striving to maintain their identity in a rapidly changing world. The Sámi Parliament in Norway, Sweden, and Finland plays a crucial role in representing their interests.
