Features: The Sámi people live in remote regions of Northern Europe, primarily in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Their ancestors arrived on this land thousands of years ago. The climate is cold and snowy, and the living environment can sometimes be harsh. The Sámi people respect nature and the various animals that sustain them. Around a thousand years ago, the lives of the Sámi people began to change. Outsiders invaded their territories, occupied the best lands, and disrupted their traditional way of life. The Sámi people had to adapt to many changes and fight for their rights. Despite this, they have endured, preserving their deeply rooted cultural heritage. In the book The Sámi of Northern Europe, you will learn about the culture of the Sámi people and how they have maintained their traditions in a high-tech modern society.
