Sámi Guidelines
“The mountains of Sámiland, the home of the Sámi children. A cold and hard rock, a warm and soft embrace”
Nils Aslak Valkeapää
Sápmi
We the Sámi People want to advise visitors about how to act and how to behave when visiting our home.
Our Home
We, the Sámi People, have occupied and lived in these areas for thousands of years. Throughout time, we have gained profound knowledge about the landscape and how to survive in the Arctic, knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation. This knowledge still sets the basis for our sustainable way of life.
