To tell you the truth, there are not just one Sami people
with unique language. There are differentiations into this group called Sami.
They have etymology, history, customs, clothes, traditions, beliefs and lifestyle
that were incorporated (a small piece) by Swedish people.

The reindeer
herding is legally reserved just for Sami people in Sweden, in other words, in
theory all reindeer in the country belong to this people. In northern Sweden is
possible to feel the influence of these peoples. There is even a Sami museum in
Jokkmokk city. The historical province of Lappland, region in the extreme
northern Sweden, is one of the areas that there are more Samis in Sweden. The
municipalities of Gällivare, Jokkmokk and Arjeplog were designated as UNESCO
World Heritage Site in 1996, as a "Laponian Area", in other words, a
Sami people space.
