@Person Hello at least, it's better than you

Imagine being in the mountains like that. You are with your family/group like the sami people has done for thousands of years. It is only the reindeers and water from snow that keeps you alive. Most of the winter is dark (no sun for many months). I'm studying sami language / culture right now and I found a story about how the sami people belives the reindeers come to earth walking on the rays from the sun ( Beaivvi lávžžit ). So the sun was both giving life to earth in the spring (when the sun came back after being away for months) and it also provided food since it gave the reindeers to them. Very beautiful imagry, I think, and it makes perfectly sense when your life only consists of daylight and reindeers and must be extremely happy when the sun finally appears again.

Personally I have not come across sámi who still call themselves Lapp unless they are very very old elders who were raised in indigenous boarding schools (and raised to be afraid to be proud of Sámi ancestors). the history of the L word is not a good one and would be good to read on. Also, as for what to call yourself, it is easy-you say finn-sámi or finnish sámi, it is that simple. we are of small enough numbers as it is-we don’t need to argue with people to divide us further! hope you stay well!
