A different view of the world Sápmi, which is the name the Sami people themselves give to Samiland, extends from Idre in Dalarna to the Arctic Ocean in northern Norway and to the Kola Peninsula in Russia. It crosses national borders that have been drawn straight through Samiland. From coast to forest, the Sami have lived here since the retreat of the inland ice. This map shows the area now known as Sápmi. The area has varied over the centuries. It was probably larger before colonisation. Sápmi makes up 35 percent of Sweden's land area. In total, Sápmi measures 157,487 square kilometres. Important towns and cities in Sápmi include: Lujávri: the chief community for the Sami in Russia Enare: the chief community for the Sami in Finland Karasjok: the location of the Sami Parliament in Norway and NRK Sámi Radio Kautokeino: Sami University College, the Sami Institute Kiruna: the location of the Sami Parliament in Sweden, the Sami Theatre, SR Sámi Radio and SVT Sápmi Jokkmokk: local office for the Sami Parliament in Sweden, Àjtte Mountain and Sami Museum, and the Sami Education Centre Östersund: Sami Information Centre (under construction), local office for the Sami Parliament in Sweden, Gaaltije Southern Sami Cultural and Information Centre |
