"Sámi soga lávlla": Song of the Sámi People

from History Loves Company · host Chester Sakamoto

The Sámi people of Europe's Far North are one of the oldest indigenous cultures to call the continent home. Long before the arrival of the Indo-Europeans, the Sámi traditionally herded reindeer, worshipped nature and lived communally in the Arctic Circle. But then, after years of being pushed into the fringes of the modern countries in which they lived, their culture was virtually eradicated in a systematic attempt at assimilation and even destruction. But activism in recent years has brought them into the spotlight and brought about renewed interest in their ancient way of life. Tune in to this brand-new episode to find out all about the Sámi of the Far North.
