The Sami people are an indigenous group living in the Arctic regions of Lapland. Historically, they have been semi-nomadic, depending heavily on reindeer herding, fishing, and hunting for survival. Their culture is deeply connected to the land, with a strong tradition of Sami culture that revolves around nature, spirituality, and a sustainable lifestyle. The Sami people have their own language, clothing, and customs, with distinct regional variations across the countries they inhabit—Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Russia.
The Sami are well known for their colorful traditional dress, known as gákti, which is often worn during festivals and ceremonies. Consider booking the
