The 
Sámi (US SAH-mee, UK SAM-ee [8], also spelled Sami and Saami) are the indigenous Native Scandinavians, the Sámi-speaking people inhabiting the region of Sápmi (formerly Lapland), which today encompasses large northern parts of Sweden, Norway, Finland, and of the Kola Peninsula in Russia.

Historically, the Sámi have been known in English as Lapps or Laplanders. However, these terms are regarded as offensive by the Sámi, who prefer their own endonym, that is, the Northern Sámi Sápmi [9, 10].

Their traditional Native languages are the Sámi languages, which are classified as a branch of the Uralic language family. More: Sámi people
