The Sami people
The Sami are the indigenous people of Norway. The Sami live in four countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. The Sami are the oldest population group in Norway, and there are several Sami languages. The Sami languages are completely different from Norwegian. A person who only speaks Norwegian can’t understand Sami. Almost all the Norwegian Sami today are proficient in Norwegian. Many also speak Sami.
Sami National Day is on 6 February. The Sami flag is flown across Norway that day. The Sami have national costumes that are called kofte. The Sami still wear this costume on special occasions such as weddings. Some Sami also wear it for everyday purposes.
Norwegians tried to ‘Norwegianise’ the Sami around 150 years ago. Sami children had to go to Norwegian schools, and they weren’t allowed to learn Sami. In 1959, the Sami language was again allowed to be used as a language in schools. An act dating from 1902 stated that only Norwegian citizens who could speak, read and write Norwegian were allowed to buy land. This act was in force right up until 1965. The situation is very different today. The Sami Parliament opened in 1989. The Sami Parliament works to ensure the rights of the Sami in Norway, especially in connection with culture and education. Members are elected to the Sami Parliament every four years.
