Sami cultural center

The Sami people are renown for herding reindeer, creating distinctive handicrafts, and their harmonious relationship with nature. Sami herders are nomadic, following their reindeers’ instinctive migration across vast areas of wilderness out to the coast. What I found remarkable was the similarity with Native Americans and First Nations cultures of North America – the singing styles are similar, they live in Teepees, and their religion has them living in harmony with nature (unlike most Torah-derived religions). A video of some of the presentation can be found in this blog post.
