Background
Historically, the Sami have their own creation story, their own sagas and mythical creatures and a strong tradition of oral storytelling. Natural phenomena and animal characteristics are often explained through folk tales. The Sami also have a strong connection to the land and water. The dumb and savage giant Staaloe also makes frequent appearances as a counterweight. He is usually outsmarted by the Sami.
