Saami people
The Saami people are an indigenous group 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, fishing, and crafting. The Saami language, which belongs to the Uralic language family, has several dialects and is an important aspect of their identity.
Historically, the Saami have faced challenges related to land rights and cultural preservation due to external pressures from governments and industries. Today, they continue to advocate for their rights and work to maintain their unique traditions, including music, art, and clothing, which reflect their deep connection to the natural environment.
