Who are the Sámi?

"We are here now; we have been here since the beginning. Hopefully we will live in Sápmi forever", Lennart Pittja, Vägvisaren/Sámi Pathfinder
Sámi people are the indigenous people of north Scandinavia and parts of Russia.
The Sámi are one of the world's indigenous peoples. Common denominator for indigenous people is that we have lived on the land before invasions and colonization formed new countries on the land. We have our own distinct culture, language and customs that differ from others in the country we live in.
