Workbook
For Sami Families
Indigenous Identity in Scandinavia — Language, Land, and the Family That Holds Both
Our people have always known this land. We wrote down what that knowing means for our family.
For the Sami family holding Indigenous identity across generations — language, land, and the practices Scandinavian states spent generations suppressing.
The Name It First Experience
Your family is Sami. The land is yours in a way that goes deeper than any state recognition. The language carries something that cannot be translated. This workbook gives your family a structured space to name what Sami identity means in your household, what you are choosing to preserve, and what each generation carries forward. The output is not a cultural survey. It is your Sami Family Record.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What word describes what being Sami means to you — and what do you notice that word does not capture?
- When you look at what your family is actively reclaiming or preserving — language, land knowledge, traditions — what do you notice about what is most at risk of being lost?
- What would your family's Sami identity document look like if it named what you know, what you are reclaiming, and what you are passing to the next generation?
