五、风景名胜，景点( attractions)

1. Lake Inari

Lake Inari is the largest lake in Sápmi and the third-largest lake in Finland. It is located in the northern part of Lapland, north of the Arctic Circle. The lake is 117–119 metres above sea level, and is regulated at the Kaitakoski power plant in Russia. The freezing period normally extends from November to early June. The best-known islands of the lake are Hautuumaasaari ("Graveyard Island"), which served as a cemetery for ancient Sami people, and Ukonkivi ("Ukko's Stone"), a historical sacrifice place of the ancient inhabitants of the area. There are over 3,000 islands in total. Trout, lake salmon, Arctic char, white fish, grayling, perch and pike are found in Lake Inari.

2. Siida

The siida is a Sami local community that has existed from time immemorial. A siida (in different Sami languages cearru, siida, sita, kite), or a "reindeer pastoralistic district," is a Sami reindeer foraging area, a group for reindeer herding and a corporation working for the economic benefit of its members. The reindeer herding siida has formed as an adaptation of ancient siida principles to large-scale nomadic reindeer herding. It is termed a sameby ("Sami village") in Swedish law, reinbeitedistrikt ("reindeer pasture district") in Norwegian law, and paliskunta in Finnish law. The pastoralistic organisation differs slightly between countries, except in Russia, where kolkhoz has replaced these earlier organisations.

Lemmenjoki National Park is situated in area of municipalities of Inari and Kittilä, Lapland, in Northern Finland. It was founded in 1956 and has since been expanded twice.

The villages of Inari, such as Kaamanen, are the heart of the Sámi culture in Finland. Vibrant Sámi culture is visible in everyday life and visitors are invited to explore the culture with local, Sámi-run companies. Why not experience the old traditional Sámi way of travelling and hop on a sleigh pulled by reindeer? The culture and languages are kept alive also through education, as it is possible to study all three of Finland’s Sámi languages, traditional handicrafts and reindeer husbandry in Inari’s Sámi Educational Institute. Sámi Museum and Nature Centre Siida is a must-see while travelling in Inari.

Inari is also an excellent location to see the Northern Lights, as it is situated right under the Aurora oval.
