Who they are
The Saami Ter form the easternmost group among the Saami peoples, historically rooted in the Kola Peninsula in the far northwest of Russia. With a history tied to reindeer herding, fishing, and life in the Arctic boreal forests, they have faced intense cultural transformations in recent decades. Today, they seek to keep their ancestral heritage alive as they navigate the pressures of modernity and the gradual loss of their traditional language.
