  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Sami people are a small group of original people in the North. We have our own language and rich culture with for example special handicraft and knowhow about reindeer, about how to live in the hard climate. Spending some weeks or months in our village would teach you some of these skills. Sami language you will hear around you every day.

  • Help

    Help

    Wintertime we have lots of work with the reindeer. That is why we could use some extra help with our horses and with the reindeer, too. Feeding the horses, cleaning the stable, taking the horses out and back in the stable. Horse back riding is possible. The reindeer work is done together with us and other reindeer owners.

    It is always interesting to get to know people from other cultures and learn at least little their language. In Kaamasmukka you learn to know more about Sami people’s culture and language. Maybe you are ready to tell more about yours!
