Archaeological finds suggest that the Sami people have lived in the Arctic region for thousands of years. The Sami today maintain their rich culture and long-established traditions, but are as much part of modern society as any other person in Sweden.
This fact sheet tells the history of the Sami population in Sweden and is available in Arabic, English, Russian and Spanish.
