Old, cultural knowledge is fundamental to the Sami identity and our well-being. We at Nutti Sámi Siida not only make sure to spread this to our guests, but also train young Sami and new guides in things they have not always brought from home. Our culture has been under great pressure for the past 200 years and by supporting us you help to highlight our knowledge and history as important, for old as well as young. Thanks to your visit, you also give us the opportunity to work with our reindeer and with our culture on a daily basis. We get a chance to keep the old alive and create conditions to shape our culture into something that survives in our time. Your entrance ticket or the cost of your trip helps us to educate both you and each other in knowledge that would otherwise have easily disappeared. Buying locally produced handicrafts is also a great way to celebrate our culture. In addition, they often open up for conversations when you get home, and give you an opportunity to share your newfound knowledge with your friends. In addition, all this supports the local economy and ensures that jobs are created in sparsely populated areas.
