Indigenous people always get hosed. We learned a ton about Sami history. An amazing museum.

We had an amazing guide at Siida who told us so many personal stories that really helped everyone relate and learn about the Sami people and their history. The museum has a great open air part as well as some wonderful interactive exhibits indoors as well. Highly recommend!

We really liked the museum. It was well designed and very informative. Had great information about the geological and biological development of the region. It also had great exhibits about the Sami people and culture. Being really interested in anthropology, I kind of missed a more detailed explanation of the migrations of people into the region. When did the Sami get there, where did they come from, when did the Indo-European and Finno-Ugric people arrive, etc. The biggest disappointment was that we weren't able to see any of the outdoor exhibits because it was too icy. Damn global warming! We spent about 2 hrs looking at and reading about the displays, but I felt like I could have easily spent twice as long. Unfortunately, it started getting pretty cramped with a lot of people, so we wound up leaving earlier than I would have wanted. Though I am glad that so many people came to read about Sami history.

Really interesting, both about the Sami culture and history and the flora and fauna at different times of year. Very stylishly presented information and interactive elements. A lovely gift shop for souvenirs. A must-visit if you come to the Inari area.
