Sámi People
The Sámi people are an indigenous group primarily found in the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. They have their own distinct languages, cultures, and traditions, which are closely tied to the Arctic environment. Traditionally, the Sámi have engaged in activities such as reindeer herding, fishing, and hunting, which are essential for their way of life.
Sámi culture is rich in folklore, music, and handicrafts, with traditional clothing known as gákti being a significant symbol of their identity. The Sámi have faced challenges related to land rights and cultural preservation, but they continue to advocate for their rights and maintain their unique heritage in modern society.
