Hello or Tiervâ!

as would be the way to greet someone in the Inari Saami language. Thank you for taking the time to look at these webpages. The webpages have been made based on the series of books we have made about Sammeli and his adventures in Lapland during the 8 seasons. The term 8 seasons is well known in Lapland and used because the times between the traditional four seasons are quite distinctive in Lapland and really seasons in their own right. The webpage will include activities and other materials for all eight seasons.
There are still very few learning materials in the Inari Saami language. Thankfully the situation is gradually improving and these webpages will improve the situation further. ‘Little Drums’ is the name of the webpage. These pages are based on the stories of Sammeli and his adventures with a shamans ‘Magic Drum’ in a series of books for little children, hence the name ‘Little drums’.
So far only one season is fully finished. Čohča or Autumn has activities, stories, videos and poems from the Sammeli books. Have a look for yourselves and let me know what you think via Facebook. I will add more materials once I have completed the fifth Sammeli book which should be ready before Christmas. Then I will make some more materials for Koskâtälvi or Midwinter. The materials will be ready around Christmas and I will add them to this season once they are ready. I will continue to develop the web pages over time when I am not busy making the books. I would just like to thank everyone for their kind help, support, advice and encouragement.
