Sami people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1998 words) |
 | Traditionally, the Sami had a variety of livelihoods; fishing on the coast and in the inland, trapping animals for fur, sheep herding etc. The best known livelihood is reindeer herding, but only a small percentage of the Sami have been mainly reindeer herders over the last centuries. |
| Sami on the Russian peninsula and in North-Eastern Finland, as well as a handful in Norway are members of the Orthodox Church. |
| Sami language is studied in several universities in all countries, most notably the University of Tromsø, that considers Sami a mother tongue, not a foreign language. |
