Saami culture is the traditional way of life of the Saami people, indigenous to the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. They are known for their reindeer herding, which is central to their economy and cultural identity. The Saami also have a rich tradition of storytelling, music, and handicrafts, including the creation of colorful duodji items, which are handmade crafts that reflect their heritage. The Saami language is part of the Uralic language family and consists of several dialects. Their spiritual beliefs often involve a deep connection to nature, with a focus on animism and shamanistic practices. Today, the Saami continue to advocate for their rights and cultural preservation in the face of modern challenges.
