The Sámi People in Sweden

The land of the Sami called Sápmi in their language, spans from the Arctic Sweden to Norway, Finland and Russia.

The Sami are one of the world’s indigenous people, and their language, culture and customs differ from the societies around them. And a tip from us: put a smile on the face of a Sami by calling them just that and referring to their land as Sápmi.
