    In the frozen Far-North of Europe, beneath the Northern Lights, lies a land of snow, endless tundra, and dense forests. Where ancient languages and songs echo on the frigid air. Where majestic reindeer roam...majestically.
    Anyway...this is Sapmi, home of the Sami people. The indigenous people of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia's Kola Peninsula.
    Located mostly north of the Arctic circle, in Sapmi the sun disappears for months in the winter, and may never set in the summer. This is what midnight looks like in summer. For thousands of years the Sami have not only survived but thrived in this land of -30 degree celsius winters and midsummer snows.
    But who are the Sami, what is their story, and wizards...can they help you find your lost socks??? Well Let's Find Out!

They even banned singing and dancing because it was how we memorized and kept our stories throughout the years. We dont even get compensation the "indians" in the lower 48 get 50 grand by age 21.

Natives in Canada went through a very similar experience as the one you described. We had residential schools all across the country until the 1990s that tried to take away language and culture from the native people here. The government even killed sled dogs up north to stop people from moving around. Some people in Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and Yukon still speak Inuktitut though, and Cree is also widely spoken

    Otters are magical. Look at the way they hold onto each other. They show us the importance of community and looking after each other. Otters are great fishers and quite intelligent. Also I did a tiny bit of looking into it and the Sami saw their lives on both the land and on sea as a crossing of two worlds and connected that to shamanistic practice. Some Sami tamed otters to help with fishing. Also they are extremely cute.

    I have to admit, I first was very sceptic about your video. I always am, when it comes to my people, as sadly a lot usually gets sugar coated, not to offend modern Swedish or Norwegian ears. And although I (surprisingly) widely agree with your video, there is one thing I'd like to add. In Sweden, we're still legally a "foreign minority", so we're not seen as the indigenous people of northern Sweden (at least as a legal status), and sadly also in a lot of people's heads, we're still just "stupid, smelly reindeer herders". But as you said yourself, we Sámi have time on our side, and we know how to wait. Mus lea sáme siellu!

      The major difference is that the Sami are technically not even indigenous to Europe. They migrated west into northern Scandinavia from Siberia just a couple thousand years ago. Hence why they have Asiatic features. The majority population of Scandinavia today, the Nordic people who are descendants of Vikings, are the indigenous people of the region.

Perhaps a more prosaic, modern, normal explanation? (your great great grandmoder came from Samni to England as a cook for some rich diplomat who were in Finland? or some simmilar history)

    Just saw this on Nebula, very good - and amusing in a delightfully silly way. 🙃 It's a sad state of affairs that I, as a Swedish citizen from birth, learned more about our indigenous population from an Irishman in a half-hour video on the internet than in 36 years of life. I only really knew they herd reindeer (didn't know they used to hunt), that colonialism went about as well for them as for the natives across the Arctic, that we committed cultural genocide through forced assimilation of their children like Britain/Canada did to the Inuit and First Nations, and the forced sterilisation. And the parliament and TV/radio programmes of course - pretty feeble as reparations go.
    Like all Christian peoples (I reckon the Christ dude in that word might take issue with that), ours is a history of unbelievable hypocrisy - right up until recent times. We should be teaching this history in schools from a very early age - we are no better than the British, French or Spanish, we too have exploited, persecuted and murdered people on the native lands which we have stolen from them. As we see the precursors to genocide falling into place all over Europe, we need to be teaching about ALL colonialism in EVERY part of the world from the perspective of the colonised here as in all majority-white countries, but we should start at home!
    I knew very little or next to nothing beyond "they worship nature and stuff", knew about yoik but not its significance, knew there was some sort of shamanistic thing going on, heard of the creation myth. And I love Lapphundar! One of the oldest and most intelligent dog breeds, and total little charmers. They need a ton of exercise and activity though, so I think I'll have to do without their company.
    Anyway, thanks, great vid.
