The Sami calendar consists of 12 flag days, the most prominent of them being the Sami National Day on 6 February.
Sami history
Sami people | The Coastal Sami and their homes
The traditional Sami houses, the goahti, were in use until well into our own time. Anders Larsen tells us how he remembers them from the coastal Sami communities in northern Norway.
The Sami | Sleeping on a bed of glowing embers
When there was no makeshift or permanent dwelling nearby, the ancient Sami hunters and reindeer herders slept under the open sky – sometimes on a bed of glowing embers.
The Sami | Injustice and the king’s apology
In 1997, His Majesty King Harald V of Norway came to the Norwegian Sami Assembly with an essential and overdue apology.
The Sapmi and Sami flag | A symbol of unity
The Sami flag is the official flag of Sapmi. Sapmi is the name of the historical Sami territories, stretching across today’s Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia.
