The Sámi Experience

The Sámi Experience - A Sea Sámi Experience

Discover the Rich Heritage of the Sea Sámi

Have you ever wondered what Sea Sámi culture is or why some areas have Sámi-language signs while others do not?

At the Center for Northern People, you can immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Sea Sámi through a guided tour of our exhibitions. Learn about Sámi history, language, and traditions, and take part in an intimate storytelling session inside a traditional turf hut. Here, you’ll hear tales of ancestral beliefs, bear hunting, and more.

To complete the experience, you’ll get to taste authentic Sea Sámi snacks and enjoy campfire-brewed coffee (or tea). Please remember to dress appropriately for the outdoors when visiting the turf hut.
