Where in Norway do most Sami people live?

The Sami people, who are the indigenous inhabitants of Norway, primarily reside in the northern region of the country known as Nord-Norge. Approximately nine-tenths of the Sami population in Norway live in this northern area.1

Historically, the Sami were pushed northward in Norway, and today they maintain a distinct culture that is legally recognized, including through the establishment of the Sami Parliament. While many Sami now participate in modern professional and urban life, some continue to practice traditional reindeer herding, particularly on the Finnmark Plateau.21
