In the S\u00e1mi worldview, people, nature and language are not seen as separate. The S\u00e1mi language reflects a deep and thorough knowledge of the surrounding nature, both animate and inanimate, and a close and very specific interaction between humans and nature. The natural, cultural, social and linguistic environments form a holistic entity, a concept of environment that must be considered as a whole, because its elements are interdependent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Respect local communities\u2019 habitat and nature\u2019s seasonal cycles. <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Be considerate of the living cultural landscape and all of its living beings.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-lxmt&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;166256&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;578049&#8243;]Living Cultural Landscape[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-204989&#8243; medias=&#8221;173,171,172&#8243; style_preset=&#8221;metro&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,title&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_h_align=&#8221;center&#8221; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; single_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_css_animation=&#8221;alpha-anim&#8221; lbox_title=&#8221;yes&#8221; lbox_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; lbox_no_tmb=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;140722&#8243; items=&#8221;eyIxNzNfaSI6eyJzaW5nbGVfd2lkdGgiOiI4Iiwic2luZ2xlX2hlaWdodCI6IjgiLCJzaW5nbGVfb3ZlcmxheV9jb2xvciI6ImNvbG9yLTY2NzI4MyIsInNpbmdsZV90aXRsZV9kaW1lbnNpb24iOiJoMSJ9LCIxNzFfaSI6eyJzaW5nbGVfd2lkdGgiOiI0Iiwic2luZ2xlX2hlaWdodCI6IjQiLCJzaW5nbGVfb3ZlcmxheV9jb2xvciI6ImNvbG9yLTY2NzE2MiJ9LCIxNzJfaSI6eyJzaW5nbGVfd2lkdGgiOiI0Iiwic2luZ2xlX2hlaWdodCI6IjQiLCJzaW5nbGVfb3ZlcmxheV9jb2xvciI6ImNvbG9yLTY2NzE2MiJ9fQ==&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;203101&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221; row_name=&#8221;Traditional S\u00e1mi livelihoods&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;111894&#8243;]Traditional S\u00e1mi Livelihoods[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-204989&#8243; isotope_mode=&#8221;fitRows&#8221; medias=&#8221;180&#8243; style_preset=&#8221;metro&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|nolink|original,title&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_width=&#8221;12&#8243; single_height=&#8221;12&#8243; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_h_align=&#8221;center&#8221; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; single_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_css_animation=&#8221;alpha-anim&#8221; lbox_title=&#8221;yes&#8221; lbox_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; lbox_no_tmb=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;204060&#8243; items=&#8221;eyIxNzFfaSI6eyJzaW5nbGVfb3ZlcmxheV9jb2xvciI6ImNvbG9yLTY2NzE2MiJ9LCIxODBfaSI6eyJzaW5nbGVfb3ZlcmxheV9jb2xvciI6ImNvbG9yLTkyODQ1OCJ9LCIxOTVfaSI6eyJzaW5nbGVfb3ZlcmxheV9jb2xvciI6ImNvbG9yLTkyODQ1OCJ9LCIxOTlfaSI6eyJzaW5nbGVfd2lkdGgiOiIxMiIsInNpbmdsZV9vdmVybGF5X2NvbG9yIjoiY29sb3ItOTI4NDU4Iiwic2luZ2xlX2hlaWdodCI6IjEyIn19&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;112709&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Traditional livelihoods are important part of everyday life in S\u00e1mi Homeland<\/h3>\n<p>The interrelationship between traditional livelihoods and culture is central in S\u00e1mi society.

The traditional S\u00e1mi livelihoods are reindeer herding, fishing, hunting, gathering of natural products, S\u00e1mi handicrafts, small-scale farming, and modern ways of practising them. Of these, reindeer herding remains one of the significant cornerstones of S\u00e1mi culture, as it offers crucial employment opportunities and, thereby, helps keeping the peripheral areas of the country inhabited while providing a culturally significant arena for language use and materials, among others, for clothing, handicrafts and food culture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contribute to the preservation and intergenerational transmission of traditional S\u00e1mi livelihoods by taking into consideration their needs and living space and peace.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Traditional livelihoods are the part of culture you can explore only as en invited and guided guest.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Books and museums provide knowledge about S\u00e1mi.
