Saami Culture |

 |

 |
||||||
| The Saami, formerly known as Lapps, are the indigenous peoples of Norway. Having endured nearly 8,000 years, this rich culture is found throughout northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. The Saami support themselves by herding reindeer, farming, fishing, and hunting. The town of Gouvdageaidnu-Kautokeino in Norway's Finnmark County is the center of Saami language, music, and art. The Saami religion is rooted in shamanism. | ||||||
