Sami National Day
February 6, 2025 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
The Sami National Day is celebrated on 6 February. It is common to all Sami people whether they live in Sweden, Norway, Finland or Russia. Day of the Sami people on 6 February commemorates the first Sámi national meeting held in Tråante/Trondheim on 6 February 1917, which brought together over a hundred Sámi people from Sweden and Norway, many of them women. It was the first time in Sámi history that North and South Sámi from Norway and Sweden came together in a borderless meeting to discuss common problems. This is why 6 February has been chosen as an important symbolic day for all Sami people, regardless of which country they live in. The following year at the same time, a similar meeting was held in Östersund.
