The Sámi National Day 6th February
The Sámi National Day is an ethnic national day for the Sámi people that falls on February 6, the date when the first Sámi congress was held in 1917 in Trondheim, Norway. The congress was the first time that Norwegian and Swedish Sámi came together across national borders to work on finding solutions to common problems.
