Saami speak various dialects of the Saami language as well as one or more national languages of the states in which they live, either, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, or Russian. For many centuries, the Saami were primarily reindeer herders. Today, reindeer herding supports about a third of the Saami, as most depend on farming, fishing, hunting, and commercial activities. Saami today have full rights as citizens and participate in the same educational, religious, and political institutions as other members of their dominant cultures. At the same time, they actively champion their ethnic status and have been active participants in the fourth-world movement.
