“The Sámi people historically inhabited the area known as Sápmi, spanning Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. While rooted in tradition, their contemporary presence extends far beyond their ancestral lands, with Sámi communities thriving worldwide. Today, the Sámi history and traditions are visible in the city life, and you can find it in both music, art, handcrafts, literature, and in the everyday topics in the communities.”
