Why Siida Sámi Museum matters
Siida is the best introduction to the Sámi, the Indigenous people of northern Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia. The main exhibition links their culture to the seasons of the north, with clothing, tools and stories. Outdoors, an open-air section shows traditional dwellings and reindeer herding equipment. It is respectful, engaging and well worth the time if you are in the north.
Talking points
- The Sámi are the Indigenous people of the Arctic north.
