Sami Music in the Kautokeino Sami Easter Festival

[revthom1]

@workatthefarm I respect that you say that you are Sami. I am a Native North American. You probably know that there are many different Native Nations here. I don't understand your term 'westernized' , to me this means Europeanized. We do not consider ourselves in that way. all of the Nations here lived in different ways with different traditions. But, if you go to the North you will find people living a lifestyle almost identical to the Sami lifestyle.

Wow! The clothing is so much like Hmong!

[destinyislandgirl]

@Hnubc1s I'm Saami and my grandmother always said that the Saami traveled from central Asian to the Lapland area (Finland, Sewden, Norway). maybe thats why. =)

[CoIoRearte]

@destinyislandgirl you're friggin cool!! My father was Native American from South America, as a halfbreed I see the many similarities Saami culture has with Indianer culture. I admire you a lot, may your beautiful culture last forever!

[revthom1]

@CoIoRearte Don't call yourself a 'halfbreed'. That's a very racist term.

[CoIoRearte]

@revthom1 Is it? I don't have English as my first language, so I wasn't aware that the term implied racism, but thanks for letting me know ;) In my language it can be racist depending on the context, I have been called halfbreed also with racist intentions -_-

[workatthefarm]

@destinyislandgirl LOL you are NOT Sami you stupid, fat, arrogant American.

[destinyislandgirl]

@workatthefarm Yes I am. I may not live in Finland but one side of my family is 100% Finnish and comes from the Lapland area and is related to the Saami. You stupid, fat, arrogent, egotistic prick.

[workatthefarm]

@destinyislandgirl Lol they are not.

Americans are Americans and will remain so forever, you will NEVER be "part" Sami in your life. I am Sami and I know what I am talking about.

[mandoplusguitar]

@workatthefarm so much hate to your own blood, why?

[workatthefarm]

@mandoplusguitar Pfft

[verydrunk2]

@workatthefarm You're actually the one who seems like an American by posting that. I thought "actual" Sami's were supposed to avoid conflict and not start arguments. There isn't a thing as a "true" Sami any more. You're all westernized so don't hate us.

[workatthefarm]

@verydrunk2 You are the American here. Not me.

A certain nationality won't save make one avoid conflicts or not.

Sami people are not westernized you idiot, the Native Americans are.

[verydrunk2]

@workatthefarm Then why are you using a computer and speaking English? If that's not westernized then i don't know what is.

[workatthefarm]

@verydrunk2 I am not speaking, I am typing. And my computer is not in English, neither made in the Anglosphere.

[workatthefarm]

@verydrunk2 And the computer is a Hungarian invention.

[verydrunk2]

@workatthefarm So be it. Any way great video. I'm sorry for my rambling on here in respect for whoever made this video.

[Knizim]

[konggako]

Hi, this way of singing is so much like the Miao/Hmong traditional way of singing: the rhythm and musical notes! I wonder why?

[jcthawaii]

I find these peoples very interesting,I love their national costumes..I`m partly South American Native mixed with European..It`s strange how much we can resemble to each other.
