Who they are
The Southern Sami are an indigenous community living in the mountainous and forested regions of central Norway and Sweden. Historically linked to traditional reindeer herding, they preserve ancestral customs and a distinct identity, while facing the challenge of keeping their native language alive and passing on their community values to future generations.
