The guy complaining about being rejected, does nothing to pass herritage to his son while finally nobody force them to become swedish. I think he is mad

I am a Sami

FINALLY some indigenous white people

If you don’t know who you are they can fight your people and your culture without you ever knowing!

I was told family came from Norway, just Norway on dad's side

History of survival of geo/ topography. I was told Scandinavians will be anywhere in the world of deserts

He clearly is having identity issues as the only thing he talked about was not owning reindeer and whether he is or not official Sami. As we in the US are in the process of having our feelings for our history undermined by the new Bolsheviks that are everywhere, I can sympathize with the guys situation better than I would have twenty years ago, Oddly enough, as a minority, his situation should be improving since Bolsheviks seek to undermine the host population of a culture. From what I can tell, this is going on in all of Western Europe and Scandinavia as well as the English colony populations such as US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand

This is a thoughtful and beautiful documentary. Thankyou❤

Hi

The general ignorance of human beings is astounding just like with any other race there's going to be stereotypes you know saying that there is a typical Sammy individual is much like saying it about native Americans very similar lifestyle and many of ways but yet there's these stereotypes of these red men running around with bows and arrows and Spears and run around and loin cloth I mean it's just there was no typical native American Jess very much like there's no typical Sammy or African-American or any other type of race there's individual cultures as well as individual people and until we change the ignorance all things will remain the same unfortunately

I'm Brazilian and I took an ancestry test - the result was mostly 48% of European origin (Portugal, Italy, France, Holland) with 5% of this percentage being in the Fenoscandian region - where the Sami live - Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, in addition to this I have indigenous Tupi ancestors for my mother and part European ancestors for my father. I was very happy to have the Sami as my ancestors and I also have a lot of respect and affection for these nations Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, my Sami ancestors were from one of these countries in the long past. so I send kisses and hugs to my Sami brothers. God bless them

Never, never be afraid of who you are, be proud of your culture, as you are special, like me as a indigenous person of the US, you are a indigenous person of the north, something to be proud of.

I am Sami, my grandparents came to Minnesota during the persecution by greedy people. Grandfather always had the sauna stook and ready each Saturday, and all my cousins were there. Laplanders are some the most intelligent people in the world.

real face of ''free'' europe

You are Sami bro, nobody can take that away from you! Your Grandmother is a wonderful lady, very wise.

I am Australian. I look Italian, this brought formation of opinions on me just because of the way I looked. I hope the Sami people can retain their identity and be free. For some reason, I feel an affection for the Sami, I don’t really know why, I just feel it. My partner looks Like a Sami, I met her before I knew who the Sami are. Rob…

I must say, this guy looks like Saami

Sami lerle bir film sayesinde tanıştım....cok etkilendim💛

💗💗💗💗

If you are a nomad, you cannot OWN an animal. You just follow them.

I consider myself Sami because of my matrilineal grandmother. She was a wise woman and I inherited all her traits. Always drawn to forests and lakes, herbal medicine etc.. strongly anti authoritarian 🌝

I'm a 32/th sami

These people were originally oriental looking I presume but now look European?

I'm mix of sea Sami & inland Sami, I have seen myself as Sami before Norwegian. But it was a taboo in the 70 & 80s when I was growing up. 🙂

I vår iranska mytologi finns det en person som heter Sam som har evigt liv, och Rostam Dastan, den store krigaren Sistani, är en av hans ättlingar. Ursprunget till Rostam Dosts fäder: Rostam, son till Zal (Zelmoks), son till Nariman, son till Sam, och Sam, son till Gershasp Jag är av den iranska saxiska rasen och jag ville veta om det semitiska folkets ursprung är detsamma som det iranska semitiska ursprunget? Är Sam-folkets ras saxisk? In our Iranian mythology, there is a person named Sam who has eternal life, and Rostam Dastan, the great warrior Sistani, is one of his descendants. Origin of Rostam Dost's fathers: Rostam, the son of Zal (Zelmoks), the son of Nariman, the son of Sam, and Sam, the son of Gershasp I am of the Iranian Saxon race and I wanted to know if the origin of the Semitic people is the same as the Iranian Semitic origin? Is the race of Sam people Saxon?

Я так понимаю, любой полукровка пишись в саамы, - и вот тебе плюшки от короны, а также право зарабатывать раскроем шкурок и писанием акварелек (к гадалке не ходи, оно субсидируется). В империи примерно так же. Ненец? Держи снегоход, да смотри: не пропей. В этом плане положение наших малых народов вызывает даже меньше опасений, чем наших "средних". Со средними погрустнее будет: ах, ты удмурт? Ну и вали на вахту или в эту, как ее, сво. Не хочешь? Тогда шагом марш в ИжГТУ и сделайся там русским.

I am Afghan but I don't know why I fell in love with Sami people.

This is so beautiful. After living 20 years abroad away from the country I was born I always had this close connection call to the native people of the north. When I lived in East Germany they asked me if I was Inuit. It really made me laugh because my hair is brown and my eyes too. Last year I spend some holidays in ume and 1 Sami man spoke to me in his native language thinking I was 1 of them probably.. I don't know but please please reconnect with your ancestral roots, pass it to your kids. Let them see his grandparents and hear as much stories as they can. The world is in much need of reconnecting with Ancestral Wisdom. I do not fit very well in my country and mum said that my dad came from the Comanche region. Hugs and Gratitude for sharing this timeline with the rest of us. All the Love and All the Courage to you All!

We are all over the world now. Many Saami migrated to America to start new with new opportunities but we are still Saami. Many homesteaded in Montana and built homes in our traditional ways. My grandfather pointed places out to me when I was young in the 1950s. We farmed and ranched. That life has changed so much now too. We need to have a website where we all are welcome no matter what country we live in. My family never herded in this country but that doesn’t make me any less of a Saami.

His smile when grandma said "NOoo!" abt having to own reindeer to be Sami touched my heart so much.

I am Metis, born and raised here in Canada. Just a quick question on the number of Sami people today. Does the population of 93,000 include those who were absorbed into the dominate culture?

Beautiful xxx

Reindeers? What's about the forest sami? Isn't the language, the music, the lore more important?

I am Sami and Wampanoag. My Sami Great-grandfather was lied to by the US government in order to teach Alaskan Indigenous peoples to manage reindeer as a protein source. When the teaching was complete, the US government broke their promise and left the Sami stranded.

This is terrible. They did the same thing to native indigenous American Indians. People need to learn respect for people that were there first and help them preserve their culture, not trying to assimilate it!

Hi Alana, I just viewed your short movie and it is very touching. I really like the way your were able to capture people in their ‘real life. I was very captivated the entire time. Bravo.

💗💗💗🇨🇦🇩🇿

🥰🥰❤

Ah, the old lady said the inside of me is my home. I was about before I saw that to write the same. No one can take from us our genes. No one can take from us how we were brought up. Our essence will live on whatever in all cultures.

It's doesn't matter if one owns Reindeer or not.... Doesn't determine if one's Sami. It's MUCH DEEPER.

It is a mistery for me how in ancient times people travelled from nowadays China all the way to the Arctic and then westward to the Scandinavia and intermixed with the Nordic people.

Hail my ancestors! The inside of me is my home. It will follow me wherever I go. Saami blood, here in CO of USA.

Hello. My name is Irina. I am from Ukraine. My dream is to live about a week and n saam family near saam shamans. The big reason - my ancestors were saami shamans. If my dream can come true, text me 🙏

I find this so interesting since my heritage is mostly Finnish Swedish and Norwegian from grandparents (and I can also speak/read Swedish) - but also living here in Minnesota USA with an uncle and cousins who are indigenous Ojibwa and experienced many similar experiences of boarding schools and questions of acceptance/authenticity by both cultures that seem similar to this

Hei , Mitä kuulu?

Watching this from Indonesia, I love learning about history, culture and tradition and this is beautiful documentary.

It's basically how they tried to erase your culture and identity by putting you in a small box. Saying a Sami is only someone who owns a reindeer. Other parts of the world, they use religion to cut you off your culture, identity. There's so many harmless rituals/practices of my people that were banned by Christian missionaries, young people doesn't know they exist. It's sad really.

I recently found out I am almost half Sami. This knowledge was almost lost through denial and assimilation. If I hadn't done my DNA (curiosity only) and seen that I was a little bit Inuit and East Asian (mind blowing since I thought I was 100% Norwegian, and thought it was an incredibly odd thing to be), I never would have known. Even then, it was difficult. Thanks to Norwegian Church Records, I saw that one set of great grandparents were Sami. However, the records weren't always consistent, so there was nothing like that said about the others. However, the other set came from Finnmark, Northern Sweden and Finland, and many DNA relatives were wearing Sami gakti. I know that my dad's side of the family were fisherman going back generations in the Finnmark area. Even though I didn't grow up with this knowledge, and definitely no reindeer, I feel a deep and intuitive connection to the Sami, and it was a relief, as well as a wonder, to discover this connection as it explained so much of who I am. At the same time, though, this knowledge upended my entire identity, so I feel for this man who knows he is Sami, but due to societal rules and bureaucracy, is made to feel not a part.
