BRIEF OF THE COUNTRY; The Sami people have inhabited the northern portions of Scandinavia, Finland and eastward over Russia since ancient times. Russia, Finland, Norway and Sweden claim territories ill what is now regarded as Sapmi (Lapland). To some extent, these countries have recognized the property rights of the Sami there. The Area of Sami settlement extends nowadays over the entire Fennoscandinavian arctic region and stretches along the mountain districts on both sides of the Norwegian-Swedish border down to the northernmost part of the province of Dalarna in Sweden. Today the Sami are a minority in their region of settlement. In a few municipalities of northern Finland and Norway, they constitute a majority. An estimated 50-65,000 Sami live in northern Scandinvia and the Kola Peninsula; of these, between 17,000 and 20,000 live in Swedish Sápmi.
