The best of Sapmi (summer)

Take a tour of the Siida, where you can learn about the Sami culture, history, and way of life in a way that makes sense.

For the reindeer herders, throwing a lasso is important for their history. The host will show you how to throw a lasso in the traditional way that the Sami do it so that you can do it too. In a lavvo, you will be served Bidus by the host. Traditional Sami food is made with reindeer meat, carrots, and potatoes. This is what they eat. This meal comes with bread and water/juice. After the meal, you can enjoy a coffee by the fire.

Many people believe that Sami customs are limited to brightly colored clothes, traditional handcraft goods, and lassoing reindeer. This is not the case. On the other hand, Sami's legacy can be seen and felt in everything from rap music and modern architecture to contemporary art and cutting-edge design. Depending on their background, the contemporary Sami may be both an award-winning filmmaker and a reindeer herder on a snowmobile. However, they may have the same profound connection with nature.

Sápmi is the Arctic area where the indigenous Sámi people reside — even though we are not permitted to reign over their territory. Hundreds of years ago, Scandinavian monarchs and the Russian tsar acquired control of this territory. Consequently, Sápmi is divided into four sections, each under the jurisdiction of a different country: Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Sámi, on the other hand, considers the Sápmi to be our unified homeland. It stretches from Hedmark County in southern Norway to the Kola Peninsula in northern Russia, about 2,000 kilometers.

Sami culture is deeply connected to the environment. They have a deep connection with nature, and they live in harmony. The Sami culture is deeply religious, believing that everything, including animals, plants, and trees, has a soul.They also believe that there are three different worlds - heaven, earth, and the underworld. The Sami people know how to live with nature. They use modern methods to preserve nature too.

?Sami people used big fires to warm their homes and cook food in the past, but now they use electric stoves. They also use electric gill nets when fishing instead of baskets on long ropes that would damage the environment. The Sami people are very respectful toward nature, and they never harm any wildlife. The word "Samite" means adorning or covering with a material like silk, satin, etc. The Sami culture is rich in textiles, and they create beautiful garments from reindeer fur, rabbit skins, and fish skin. The women weave these materials into beautiful garments that look excellent.
