Sámi Culture, Reindeer & Norway's Arctic North

The Sámi people (the indigenous people of Sápmi — the traditional homeland spanning northern Norway (Finnmark), northern Sweden, northern Finland, and the Kola Peninsula of Russia) are Norway's only recognized indigenous people, with a distinct language (the Sámi languages are a group of Uralic languages unrelated to Norwegian), culture, and traditional livelihood (reindeer herding): the Oslo Sámi cultural presence (the Sámi Cultural Centre, the Sámi Parliament (Sametinget — meeting in Karasjok, Finnmark, but with offices in Oslo), and the Sámi exhibition at the Nordisk museet in Stockholm) provides an introduction to Arctic Norway and the Sámi world.
