They were to spread over the borders of 4 nations, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. There are about 70,000 S\u00e1mi in the world today. Norway has the largest population at 35,000; Sweden is next with 17,000 Finland has 5,000 and Russia has around 2000. The S\u00e1mi have a unique language, dialects and culture including a S\u00e1mi national flag. The territory in which they live is known as S\u00e1pmi or Sam\u00e4tnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional S\u00e1mi occupations include reindeer herding, fishing, hunting and small scale agriculture. The S\u00e1mi traditionally manufacture articles for everyday use from raw materials available from their surroundings. Products are made from sustainable sources. Houses, clothes, boats and sleds are made from materials indigenous to the S\u00e1mi territories. Items such as knives are beautifully made using reindeer antlers and are works of art as well as functional items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sami-3.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Jessica Lindgren (imagebanksweden.se).\" class=\"wp-image-1065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sami-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sami-3-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Photo: Jessica Lindgren (imagebanksweden.se).<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Yoik is the traditional song of the S\u00e1mi which is unique and is seen as a way of remembering nature in terms of animals or people. To Yoik, is a way of singing to nature, evoking the spirit of people or animals. Until relatively recent times, yoiking was discouraged and disliked. Traders who came north in search of reindeer skins brought alcohol, consumed it and yoiked. It soon became associated with drunkenness. Christian pastors did not approve and yoikers suffered extreme penalties. But a revival sparked in the 1970s and continues today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sami-4.jpg\" alt=\"Cloudberries.

Thin bread cakes are made in this way. Vegetables are hard to grow in the S\u00e1mi regions and cloudberries and lingonberries make up a common part of the diet providing vitamins to the diet. Sorrell or \u2018Juobmo\u2019 is one vegetable that can be foraged and stored over the winter months. It can be mixed with milk and kept in kegs. Boiled sorrel can be served with milk and sweetened with sugar. Angelica is also eaten, the stalk can be used raw or boiled and formerly angelica was used as a medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sami-1.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Lola Akinmade \u00c5kerstr\u00f6m (imagebanksweden.se).\" class=\"wp-image-1063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sami-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sami-1-300x203.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Photo: Lola Akinmade \u00c5kerstr\u00f6m (imagebanksweden.se).<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the 26th April 1986 the nuclear power plant of Chernobyl failed and radioactive poisonous gas fell on southern S\u00e1pmi. The radioactivity was absorbed by plants, especially lichens. Lichens are the main staple for reindeer during the autumn and winter. At slaughtering time during the autumn the amount of caesium in the reindeer meat was so high that it surpassed the level allowed for human consumption. The meat had to be discarded. In Sweden the meat from 30,000 reindeer had to be buried. The S\u00e1mi were shocked and in despair, and many feared for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sami-5.jpg\" alt=\"The reindeer are central to S\u00e1mi culture.\" class=\"wp-image-1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sami-5.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sami-5-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>The reindeer are central to S\u00e1mi culture.

This has had the effect that the caesium content in the meat is not as high as it was directly after the accident. The S\u00e1mi can once again sell meat to the slaughterhouses. The disaster at Chernobyl has shown how fragile the existence is for people today who live with and from nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Our <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/winter-sweden-reindeer-encounter-and-sami-experience-in-lapland-nss1mw1.htm\"><em>Reindeer Encounter and S\u00e1mi Experience in Lapland<\/em><\/a><em> is located in the far north of Sweden and makes an ideal add-on activity in combination with any of our <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/inspire-dog-sledding-kiruna.htm\"><em>dog sledding tours in the Kiruna and Abisko<\/em><\/a><em> area.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The S\u00e1mi began to settle in the area in and around the Arctic Circle about 10,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age.
