Lapland (also Lappia, Sápmi, and Saamiland) is the name of the cultural region traditionally inhabited by the Sami people. The Sami people prefer using Sápmi. The cultural region includes the Lappi (Lapland in English) province in Finland and the Swedish Lapland province in Sweden.
Lapland is located in Northern Europe and includes the northern parts of Scandinavia and the Kola peninsula. It spans over four countries: Finland, Norway, Russia and Sweden. With the fall of the Soviet Union and increasing internationalization, co-operation across borders is becoming more important and existing county and national borders less important both for the Sami aboriginal population and the non-Sami population. A majority of the current population of this region has at least some Sami ancestry, yet most identify with their respective nation-state ethnicities.
