Siida, your guide to the culture of the Lapland indigenous Sami people and the nature of the arctic wilderness.
Sámi Museum and Nature Centre Siida is your guide to Sámi culture and northern nature.
Siida is located in the town of Inari, in the Sámi Homeland.
The Sámi Museum preserves and presents the spiritual and material heritage of the Finnish Sámi in its collections and exhibitions. Our exhibitions show how nature and people have adapted to the extreme conditions of the Northern environment side by side. Temporary exhibitions on cultural history, nature and art.
The open-air museum presents typical dwellings of the Sámi fishermen and the nomadic Sámi, as well as hunting methods and reindeer husbandry.
Siida’s new exhibition is called “Enâmeh láá mii párnáh – These lands are our children”, according to the Inari Sámi poem written by Matti Morottaja from Inari. The name of the exhibition summarizes the most important messages of nature and cultural topics.
The cultural contents of the exhibition reflect on how the past lives in us – each of us has a diverse heritage of different eras, which we utilise when adapting to changes around us. The nature perspective highlights climate history, specifically after the last Ice Age, and also speculates what will happen to the climate in the future. Nature topics are discussed through the conservation areas of Northern Lapland, their different habitat types, and the species living in them.
Sámi Museum has regional unit in Sevettijärvi where the Sámi Museum maintains the Skolt Sámi Heritage House, which is open in summer and autumn.
