Sámi Clothing
Sámi clothing, known as gákti, is traditional attire worn by the Sámi people, an indigenous group from the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. The gákti is often made from wool, reindeer skin, or cotton and features vibrant colors and patterns that vary by region and family. It is typically worn during cultural events, celebrations, and ceremonies.
The gákti is not only functional but also symbolizes identity and heritage. Accessories such as silver jewelry and sashes are commonly added, enhancing the outfit's beauty. The clothing reflects the Sámi's connection to nature and their way of life, showcasing their rich cultural traditions.
