One people in four countries
Since time immemorial the Sami have lived in an area that now extends across four countries. It comprises the Kola Peninsula in Russia, northernmost Finland, the coastal and inland region of northern Norway and parts of Sweden from Idre northwards. This region is called Sápmi (Samiland). The original Sami area of settlement was even larger, but they have gradually been forced back.
