Det område som samer bebor brukar benämnas Sápmi (ibland Sameland). Samerna i Sverige har sedan 1993 en egen statlig institution med folkvalda (se Sametinget). ILO har förklarat samer som ursprungsbefolkning.

As much as this may seemingly go against my earlier post, I think we need to move now to stop this ecological menace. It's going to be like Starship Troopers - who's with me?

Quoted: An army of red monsters is marching west from Russia. They have eight legs, and huge claws, and they grow up to 6ft wide. They’ll eat anything they can catch. There are 10 million of them, and they’re multiplying rapidly.
