	Obituary: Nils-Aslak Valkeapaa Independent, The (London) - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Born in Enontekio in Finnish Samiland in 1943, he was the son and brother of nomadic Sami (Lapp) reindeer-herders.
		Although he left the traditional family occupation to train as a primary-school teacher, the variety and continuously inventive nature of his art suggests the restlessness of the nomad that was in his blood.
		This collection of short poems, accompanied by photographs of the Sami taken between the 1860s and 1930s, was lauded for uniting past and present, fact and fiction, to reveal the richness of Sami culture, history and language.

	Lands of the Sami
		The logging is legal and under the control of the state-run forest system; unfortunately this “sustainable” forest management does not appear to factor in the needs of the Sami and their reindeer.
		In coastal Samiland, the proposed opening of the Barents Sea for full oil exploration threatens to accelerate development and potential destruction.
		Samiland, which is rich in precious metals, is also threatened by mining operations.

		The floodlit stadium was visible from across the city; at the entrance we bought tickets and received programmes; the players and the pitch were immaculate; the press were present in full, as was the ‘president’ and other local dignitaries.
		Although Samiland does not seek independence from the three counties whose borders it spans, it was in this respect more of a ‘nation’ than the ‘Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’, having at least created its own national anthem.
		The ‘Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’ is of course deemed illegal by the international community because it was born out of Turkish military occupation; Kosovo is a UN protectorate and technically is still part of Serbia; and Samiland, the land of the Lapps, stretches across the borders of three recognised nations, Sweden, Finland and Norway.

	Northern magic
		Samiland has no borders or boundaries, wars or armies, and it does not appear on the map - it is a place for those who love nature untouched and clean.
		It is imaginary because it appears on no map, and yet the Lapps - or the Sami people, as they prefer to call themselves - have lived here from time immemorial and traces of their presence here go back more than 8,000 years.
		Samiland is a mighty land, rich in lakes, rivers, small streams and, not the least, grandiose mountains and boundless hills, which in some places reach as far as the Atlantic coast.

		Samiland also crosses what the governments in power deem northern Sweden, Finland and Russia.
		No doubt another effect of the north -- Samiland has a couple of utterly sunless months in winter, and then round-the-clock sun from spring to early summer.
		I ask Boine if she is familiar with the other bands in the Magnetic North line-up.

		Ostensibly the book is about the Sami, the nomadic people who inhabit this vast arctic region, but in actuality his tale is one of encounters with tourists and others who are destroying the Sami culture and the lands these nomads have roamed for centuries.
		Jones chronicles his love affair with Lapland, properly known as Samiland, the arctic region in northern Scandinavia that covers portions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Soviet Union.
		This is one of the last frontiers, and Jones superbly describes and photographs the natural wonders from the lively and busy spring and summer through the dark, depressing days of winter.

	Cariel's Heartlink, Woman Shaman
		When I was in Samiland, I had to walk some ten or more miles to the sacred site, and I had to climb a ten-kilometer mountain in order to be able to dream of my spirit guide.
		When I was in Samiland, if men would harass me sexually, I would not retaliate physically, even if it were warranted in order to save myself from injury.
		In Samiland in the summer, when the sun sets well after midnight, sometimes as late as 3:00 Am., one enters altered states, highs, and expansive states of consciousness.

	Talk:Lapland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I am not sure if it is correct to say that the majority of samiland is sami either, but that is probably subject to how it is defined.
		I think this was due to the fact that a long time ago I merged the Samiland article into this one.
		If the author/information is from Norway "Sapmi (Samiland)" is usually used, since Lapland is not commonly used in Norwegian.

	Lars Levi Laestadius
		Lars authored a number of articles on plant life in Samiland and in 1838-40 he served as botanist to a French research expedition to Samiland.
		Laestadius became a dynamic and charismatic evangelist who started a religious revival that spread throughout Samiland and even reached the sons and daughters of Samiland who had emigrated to the United States.
		Laestadius adapted the Lutheranism of the state church to better fit the folk culture and psyche of the people of Samiland.

		Indeed, she has also visited the Shamans of Samiland, and was recognized by them to have shamanic powers.
		In Samiland the Great Shaman is also the chief political leader of his people.
		When a Shaman from Samiland insists that you must travel to the North Pole in order to study Sami Shamanism, an American may tend to balk and dismiss the Shaman as a phoney.

	National Borders in 21st Century
		Along the way, a host of new states – including Samiland, Pushtunistan, and Zululand – are born.
		And those are only a few of the possibilities that a panel of eminent political geographers predicted for the next decade as the world map is redrawn.
		And Samiland is carved from the northern Lapp-populated areas of Norway, Sweden and Finland, then joins the northern regions of Canada and Russia in the new Circumpolar Arctic Confederation.

	FWB, July 1994
		The vast majority of these nations can easily be considered indigenous, due to the fact that their existence dates from ancient times, long before the creation of the states that presently enclose them.
		Some of these nations (Euzkadi, Friesland, Samiland, etc.) existed within the same traditional homelands in which they are found today at the time of the first imperial expansion of Rome.
		Although these peoples may no longer live "tribal" or "primitive" lifestyles, their permanent occupation of territory permits their inclusion within the definition of indigenous peoples employed by the International Labor Organization (ILO).

	Sámi Drums – Then and Now
		The yoik text that was dedicated to the noaidi Gargias is proof that the colonization of Sámiland also led to internal Sámi disputes and conflicts.
		On the surface level it is a story about a contest between two infamous shamans in two adjoining areas of Samiland.
		In the initial situation all of the wild game has disappeared from Gargias’ district, and through the trance he has been placed in at the very beginning of the yoik, he knows that the reason for the famine now threatening his people is due to sorcery from the neighboring siida’s or neighboring area’s noaidi Doragas.

		But the core area where most Sami still live stretches from Idre in central Sweden northward to the shores of the Arctic Sea, and from the western archipelago of Norway to the Kola Peninsula of Russia in the east.
		Sápmi is where the Sami pursue their traditional livelihood, reindeer herding − a way of life that requires large tracts of land and an opportunity to follow the natural migration patterns of reindeer, regardless of national boundaries.
		SameNet’s point of departure is to be politically neutral and to operate on the basis of “Sami thoughts and values,” as its sponsors put it.

	Fourth World Welcomes New Millennium but What Lies Ahead?
		In New Zealand Maori singers and dancers sang ancient songs and danced older rituals to welcome the same day.
		In Fiji and Samoa, in Australia, in Canada and Greenland and in Samiland, in Scandinavia, tribal peoples gathered in their communities and shared their sacred traditions with the world via international satellite television hookups.
		The question that arises is whether the new day, the new millennium, belongs to the Fourth World and the celebration of the predator states is that of desperation and reflection on a rapidly fading glory.

	Winter travels in Samiland. - By Barbara Sjoholm - Slate Magazine
		If Kiruna is the political head of Swedish Sápmi, with the parliament and the Swedish headquarters of Sami radio, Jokkmokk is its cultural soul, with a college where students from many backgrounds study language and handicraft.
		Ájtte, Jokkmokk's museum, has come to be one of the focal points of all Samiland.
		During the winter market it's the venue for nature slideshows and films, lectures (delivered in Swedish and occasionally Sami), and musical events.
