Invented traditions are aimed at connecting with the past in a way that appears to confirm a historical continuity. These \u2018traditions\u2019 seem or are made to seem ancient but are, in reality, quite recent and invented. Tourism exploiting S\u00e1mi culture has created tangible and intangible invented \u2018cultural heritage\u2019 which has been commercially utilised with no regard for genuine S\u00e1mi culture or without hearing or unconcerned for the opinions of the S\u00e1mi in the matter. One of the most offensive examples is a product known as \u2018Lapland baptism\u2019, an initiation ceremony invented purely for touristic purposes. It has no factual foundation in actual S\u00e1mi culture. Furthermore, it presents the S\u00e1mi people in a highly disadvantageous light as dirty and primitive characters. In addition to \u2018Lapland baptism\u2019 ceremony, the category of invented traditions includes other imitations that are degrading towards S\u00e1mi culture. Such imitations are, for example, \u2018handicrafts\u2019 imported from low-cost countries but marketed as S\u00e1mi handicrafts, fictional stories fabricated for tourism that are claimed to be based on S\u00e1mi culture, yoik imitations, and associating the S\u00e1mi and S\u00e1mi culture with fairy tale characters such as Santa Claus.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ back_color=”color-xsdn” overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ radius=”std” shadow=”xs” width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”113858″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”204299″]<\/p>\n
