Who are the Sami & how they live in the North of Russia? | Sami village on Kola Peninsula 

She should be in the high ranks of Russia's tourism board. Nobody covers Russia the way Eli does. The best.

You are not alone...I too want to visit Russia ...what a very diverse country..

Sami people live in Norway, Sweden and Finland as well we also have a our own Sami tribes living here.

There is a movie about the Sami called Sami Blood. It came out in 2017.

all people lived in harmony with nature before industrilaization

Native Americans do not live in harmony with nature. Your statement is a myth created under the idea of the "noble savage". It isn't real.

Small populations live in harmony with nature, to a certain degree. Urbarnization demands large amounts of industrial and other activities. But any rural area or small city in the world lives in harmony with nature. Look at small towns in western countries and you will see.

@@silasbishop3055 some did, some didn’t. Just like everyone in the world. But natives americans are notorious for slash and burn agriculture to this day. The amazon fires caused by humans here in Brazil comes mostly from them.

@@Nimai_Aquino Did vs didn't isn't the issue. The OP is in present tense.

Let's not get carried away 😅 i think she's cute, smiley, and that she's really got something there, as far as RU-vid world is concerned : Russia is kinda mysterious country for Western ppl, not well known, with a century long war of "opinion" between 2 worlds etc... Moreover it has a huge territory, hence so many different ethnicities, cultures, religions, beliefs, and so on and so on.. so yeah, she's on to smthg here, or at least for a year maybe 2 and by then... but as far as the quality of the videos are concerned, the level of professionalism... oy oy oyyyy... well you're not quite there @Eli I'm sorry I'm not saying that to be rude AT ALL, I think you're great, have a "RU-vid profile"and really try! And I'm pretty sure you'll get there! But as for now, not quite yet... sound is awful with wind effect, fluctuations of volume..., same with light settings, you're not even trying my friend.. for instance Caspian See footage could've been GORGEOUS with the right settings, even your breakout... instead it's obscure, scales of dark grey... Also you're looking at the camera all the time, even when interacting with an individual, even worse interviewing him/her, like the Tchetchenya weddings one (it gives a frozen/old school effect, you gotta make your audience feel you're just chatting casually with someone, give it a glance sometimes, ok, but mainly looking at the person...). Editing also.... your final cut OFTEN comprises useless images (I remember a sequence with garbage behind a house in Moscow, washing machine, boots... 3mn is a super long time in streaming experience, you lose interest and think "what the f... am I looking at??" 😅 Well all in one, I'd say if you're into that now, get the right equipment, the good filming/editing/lighting blabla lessons from the right ppl (DIY or why not, classes!) And you'll be perfectly ok 👍🏻 cause the most important thing (BUT not the only one!!) is to find a right angle/topic, and I'm pretty sure you got that good 😊this is ONLY one's opinion! good luck Eli!

@@KADDARLING Why don't you stf up and do something rather than babbling 🤬

The internet is television (they just haven't told you yet). Wake up.

You are from Russia Fedration 🇷🇺or Russ

Yep ... I remember hearing about them from somebody but didn't know who it was until now.

You said Norway and Russia, but not Sweden. I was in Sweden Close to Arctic circle and that was the first place I meet and learned about Sami people. Being from central Europe it was very exciting 😄 to meet other ethnic minority of people we have in Europe. If I recall correctly, Sami people in Sweden spoke Sami language. Do they speak the same language in Russia, or they speak now only Russian.

@@janlampert5688 I never made it to Europe Jan. I watched Noraly who travels the world on motorcycles (Itchyboots on youtube Season 3Episode 24). Did you confuse "NORAlY" name for Norway? Take care 'n have a great day.

@@mikep.9371 Actually, looks I made a mistake with placing the comment. It was not ment to be for you, rather directly to Eli.🤔

@@janlampert5688 no problem ... it's the "confuser" system ...

Jewish or what ethnic background?

@@ElifromRussia Pardons

I have a friend who rents land he owns to his Sámi neighbours, and the rent is paid in reindeer.

@@cdl0 Now that's unique!

As the woman said; it's the same as asking a stranger if they are poor or wealthy.. its just non of our business how much money someone else has got, right?

1:39 - I was especially surprised by this very long southwest corner

Häyhä was karelian

@@555nolife666 True, Häyhä was from Rautjärvi, Karelia (present Finnish side)

@@paceventura The owners/managers are not natives usually, just opportunists.🤔

What "political discrimination"? What are you talking about? Understand that Russia is a country of opportunities! Understand that in Russia it is bad form to boast of one's nationality. You will not be elected the head of an enterprise on a national basis .. Only and exclusively according to human and professional criteria. You can be anyone - Russian, Ukrainian, Asian or African. It all depends on what kind of person you are and what professional you are. By the way, the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation is Shoigu, a Tuvan by nationality. Tuvans are not a large nationality, about 250 thousand people. .Do not mix politics where there is no politics in principle))

They live in Samiland. Which is northern Scandinavia and Russia,, and they have the rights to migrate across and borders in the respective area.. and the majority are actually quite wealthy nowadays

​@@ElifromRussia "Thank you" Akcepted: Hi, it's here very-very-brrr-very cold

Right on, Gene. The Sami do strive to defend their rights! // NGOs: The Saami Council is an umbrella non-governmental organization for Saami orgs in Finland, Sweden, Norway and the Russian Federation. The Saami Council was founded in 1956, and today has 9 member organizations including 2 from Russia: Kola Saami Assoc (AKS) and Saami Assoc of the Murmansk Region (OOSMO). The 22nd Sami Conference will be held in 2022, this time in Sweden. Sami conferences promote Sami people’s livelihoods, rights, languages and culture. // Political entities: Finland, Sweden and Norway each has its own Sami parliament (Sámediggi). These elected Sami parliaments are constitutionally recognised self-governing bodies meant to promote sami people’s cultural self-determination. They function mainly as consultative bodies officially representing Sami interests both nationally and internationally. The Sámi Parliamentary Council (SPC) is the co-operational body for the 3 Nordic Sámi parliaments. The SPC was founded in 2000, and the 3 parliaments each lead the SPC for a period of 16 months. Because there is no elected body for the Sámi yet in Russia, the Russian Sámi have been allotted 2 permanent representatives on the Sámi Parliamentary Council.

@@alpovratia6488 Thank you for the very detailed information!! I love the simple life of the Sami people!! I hope they keep their traditions and lifestyle alive for future generations!! ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽

Animals need to be protected

Very interesting because she never once mentioned the Finnish Sami. She only talked about the Norwegian Sami.

Around 60% of Sami live in Norway, 30% in Sweden, 10% in Finland and 2% in Russia. (Rough numbers)

@@Spacemongerr The percentages add up to 102% which is a bit unconventional.

@@Spacemongerr I have lived all my life in a lie,I never knew that Norway has the most Samis,Thank you for the heads up!

@@ElifromRussia ¡¡🥰‼️

Hi, I am a dependent if the Germans from Russia . Katherine the Great invited Germans to live in the Steppe region in t h e Ukraine. Do you know about them. Many immigrants live in the USA. I do.

@@sharontollin3527 Fascinating :) Would you tell me more??
