Google celebrates Sami national day
In Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland Google is celebrating the Sami national day with a special logo today.
The Sami people, one of the largest indigenous groups in Europe, lives in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. Their traditional languages are the Sami languages, which are members of the Finno-Lappic group of the Uralic language family.
February 6 was the date the first Sami congress was held in 1917 in Trondheim, Norway. This congress 
was the first time that Norwegian and Swedish Sami came together to find solutions for common problems. Since 1993 Norway, Sweden and Finland (and now apparently Google) have recognized the date as the Sami National Day.
