This is the Sami flag.
I tell ya’… I had shoes “komager” like these when I was a little girl… and it was the best shoes EVER for a really cold winter day. They really know what they are doing. Most coats and shoes are made by hand from reindeer skin… And it is beautiful if you ask me….
Aren’t they just beautiful??
This is a Sami wedding.. notice all the “sølje” silver she’s wearing…
The Sami people reminds me of the american Indians… and I really think they should be able live their lives as they always have been.. and cherish the old traditions!

That was so cool to have you share that! I have never heard of the Sami people and there lifestyle, dress, and culture remindes me alot of American Eskimos or American Indians.
I just love their bright, beautiful clothing :-)
Hi Monica! Thank you for visiting me & leaving your sweet comment. This is a lovely post and your pictures are beautiful. I wasn't familiar with the Sami people. I agree with Rachel, they remind me of the Eskimos and American Indians. ♥ Diane

That's VERY cool....thanks for sharing the pictures. You're right, they remind me of American Indians and a Bit of Eskimo too!
Do you still have your "reindeer" shoes?
Hi Monica...I absolutely love your story on the Sami...I am a social scientist and interested in the minority groups of the world. This is fascinating and I have already started to read up on them. What a wonderful culture..thank you so much for sharing this.
I love your blog! You have very good taste.
I will follow your blog with interest and it will be nice to be friends with you. Marilyn
Hi Monica :)
Everytime I come here I learn something! They seem like such sweet and happy people :)
Oh and your house is really cute. You may think it's small, but to me that's much better than being too big ;)

Wow, now that was really interesting! I'll admit, I didn't watch the whole video, but I think I got the gist of it. And the pictures of the clothes they wear! Amazing!!

Oh MOnica dear,
What wonderful picture of the Sami indians!! I loved the ones of the wedding!! And yes, they should be able so to live their lives as they have for centuries!! They do remind me of the American Indians! (I am 1/16th indian, lol, 1/32 of Apache, and 1/32 of Comanche!!) Don't that make a great mix!! Also part Swedish, Dutch, and English! No wonder I am soooooo mixed up! LOL!! (laughing loudly!!)
