The Sami Today

Reflection:
The video gives a brief overview of Sami history and culture. The Sami are presented as a distinct ethnic group in Scandinavia. In this video, the Sami are depicted as modern Indigenous people. In a short time, the Sami has made the transition from a hunter-gatherer society to a modern lifestyle and paid work.

The Samis in the video are portrayed as part of modern society. They play extreme sports such as motocross, use the computer, cell phones and modern kitchens to cook their food. Moreover, the video presents a blend of their traditional and modern world.

However, the video gives a superficial overview on the Sami. It does not include the negative sides of assimilation. It only shows that the Samis are now part of the modern world. It does not show the process or the implications of the assimilation of the Sami. To a certain extent, the video romanticizes the lifestyle of indigenous people in the modern world.
