It is marketed under various names, for example, Lapp baptism ceremony, Lappish baptism, etc. This \u2018tradition\u2019, invented and commercialised by outsiders and disapproved by S\u00e1mi, was \u2018born\u2019 at the end of 1970s. The reason provided when inquired for this disinformative \u2018ceremony\u2019 being still on the menu of the tourism industry is that there is demand for it. Demand, that has been and is being created by tourism industry through continuing to offer it. This invention 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. These service providers are often wearing their role costumes impersonating \u2018shamans\u2019 or \u2018S\u00e1mi\u2019 entertaining tourists at the cost of indigenous people. In addition to offending S\u00e1mi, \u2018Lapland baptism\u2019 misleads and deceives customers by using S\u00e1mi cultural heritage and S\u00e1mi symbols or elements referring to S\u00e1mi culture, and, thus, making it seem S\u00e1mi. In tourism exploiting S\u00e1mi culture, \u2018Lapland baptism\u2019 also belongs to cultural identity theft and cultural appropriation categories. This invented \u2018tradition\u2019 increases further the misleading, exoticised and primitivised information regarding S\u00e1mi via tourism industry. Hence, this practise is culturally highly unsustainable.[\/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=”136268″]<\/p>\n
