The Samis

Today, on February the 6th I will be thinking of the Samis when they celebrate their National Day. Like many indigenous people, the Samis have suffered greatly throughout history.

The Samis mainly live in the northernmost part of Europe. No one knows exactly how many Samis there are,  and the figures vary from 80,000 to 135,000.
