Sami Cultural Heritage

Immersive experiences with Northern Sami culture, particularly at Jokkmokk's famous Winter Market (February), the world's largest Sami gathering where 30,000 visitors browse traditional crafts, watch reindeer racing, and hear joik music. Sami cultural heritage spans Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia's Kola Peninsula, preserved through a living tradition of reindeer herding, storytelling, and handicraft. The Ájtte Museum in Jokkmokk and SIIDA Museum in Inari offer excellent cultural context before meeting Sami families.
