	Research into the Post-War Saami Society
		The Saami "national movement" was seen to be waging a war on two fronts: externally vis-a-vis Norwegian public opinion and the state for recognition of the Saami right to self government, on the strength of their being a distinct people; and internally to create a positive sense of Saami identity.
		It was because of that one could interpret the Saami passivity and impotance either as the expression of individual qualities of a negative kind or as a distinctive mentalité of a people as, for example, in the concept of "the lazy native".
		He takes as his starting point the fact that the Saami in the southern areas were, from the end of the nineteenth century, obliged to accommodate themselves to the changing legal policies of the authorities with regard to their reindeer herding.

		Saami traditional ownership of land and water became an obstacle to the exploitation of the natural resources of Sápmi - iron ore, the forest and water power.
		Swedish policy towards the Saami was defended with a racist ideology that claimed to have found "scientific verification" of Darwin's theory of natural selection and the survival of the fittest within the human community.
		The Saami have traditionally used forest areas for a variety of purposes, in particular for hunting, trapping, reinder breeding, for food and fuel gathering and for the extraction of raw materials.

		When the Saami interests in the matter once was raised in a lecture by the Danish ethnographer Emilie Demant-Hatt, the remarks she made were resented so much by the Norwegian negociatiors that they had the Government denounce her for having shown a lack of objectivity.
		NSR has demanded that the Saami must be represented in the bodies deciding on the disposition of land and distributing the economic surplus from the use of the land.

		SAAMI points out that chambers for military rifles have a different throat configuration than chambers for sporting firearms which, together with the full metal jacket of the military projectile, may account for the higher pressures which result when military ammunition is fired in a sporting chamber.
		SAAMI recommends that a firearm be fired only with the cartridge for which it is specifically chambered by the manufacturer.
		SAAMI chambers are designed for increased accuracy, but will yield dangerously high pressures in guns using military ammunition and/or which are subject to high volume shooting.

		Since at least the 17th century, Saami people have been treated with condescension and, at times, with outright oppression by the various governments that were claiming and dividing up their lands.
		One name given the Saami by their neighbors is “Lapps;” according to one writer, lapp means “a patch of cloth for mending,” and the word thus wrongly suggests that the Saami wear old or patched clothes (Introduction to the Sámi people).
		Saami traditional outfits known as gakti are typically fashioned in bright primary colors and ornamented with embroidery and beadwork.

		“The new Saami education provided by the University of Helsinki, introducing new approaches which view indigenous culture and language from within the culture, complements the old discipline of Lappish studies, in which the Saami are studied from the outside,” says Irma Seurujärvi-Kari, a Saami activist and Head Lecturer of Saame at the University of Helsinki.
		Over one third of the present-day Saami live outside the Saami territory proper, that is, outside the northernmost municipalities of Lapland.
		The Saami culture is, like the cultures of other indigenous people, deeply rooted in the traditional means of living and a nature-oriented way of life — which has probably saved the Saami from assimilating into the majority population.
