Sami Bracelet - Randi

The Sami people, previously known as Lapps or Laplanders, are the indigenous people of far northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula of Russia.  Their traditional way of life was a nomadic one following the reindeer herds similar to Native Americans and the buffalo.  Even today reindeer herding is reserved only for the Sami people in certain regions of the Nordic countries.
