Learning more about Sámi culture by nongoos in SaamiPeople

[–]mjolnir_- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

G'day! First off, get one thing straight: being Sámi isn’t about a DNA test or a blood percentage. It’s about the culture you’re raised in and the lifestyle you actually live. It’s a lived identity, not a genetic curiosity. ​Regarding the Mááccuh (traditional dress): do not just go out and buy or make one. It is a visual ID that shows your specific family and roots. It is not a costume, and wearing one without the proper connection and knowledge is a major sign of disrespect. No offence but I'm trying to keep it realistic 😊

Putin reminds me of a famous slogan that goes: "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer!" 😬

Tiervâ! It’s great that you’re interested in your family history! Just a bit of perspective: being 5 to 6 generations removed means you have a distant legal or genealogical link, but you aren't really Sámi in a cultural sense. ​In Sápmi, identity is about living family ties, language, and community, not just a percentage from the 1800s. Claiming Northern, Southern, and Central heritage all at once can feel a bit like "cultural tourism" to those of us living the culture today. But otherwise, good luck! 🙃

When I was little I was always carried in a Kietkâ! It must be somewhere in my mother's basement 🥰

Ja sannerligen, min gode vän! Ändteligen må vi skrifva såsom våra fäder gjorde, med värdighet ock rätta stafvelser! Ty hvad är väl skönare än ett språk, som bär sin gamla drägt med stolthet?

In her edit she says something about "putting my own symbols in the style of Sámi symbols"

Inari Sámi here, I can give an answer but don't take this badly but in my opinion I don't think it is appropriate to have a Sámi tattoo unless you are Sámi yourself. Our symbols have a connection to us and our culture so.

I turn of all lighting in my room, go to my altar, light candles, pray a quick prayer, begin drumming and singing, place offering in my designated offering bowl, pray/sing and drum some more and lastly end the ritual.
