Sámi Dreams: Conversations with Modern-Day Sámi

SÁMI-DREAMS
CONVERSATIONS WITH MODERN-DAY SÁMI
PHOTOGRAPHY BY RANDALL HYMAN

The Sámi, northern Europe’s only indigenous people, dream dreams few others fully understand. With shamanistic roots disrupted by nightmarish oppression, a present blessed by resiliency and growing political power, and a future confronted by climate change and lingering marginalization, these are the people, from poets to politicians, whose dreams will carry them forward.
