Sami Parliment






The picturesque township of Inari is the home of the Finnish Sami Parliament. There are fewer than 1500 Sami speakers left in Finland with similar numbers in Norway, Sweden and Russia so the culture is clinging on, but only just.

Designed by local architects, the striking Sami Parliament building dominates the small town and is stunning use of raw timber.
