The National Museum of Finland in Helsinki will later this year return 2,200 artefacts to the Indigenous Sámi people thanks to an agreement with the Sámi Museum and Nature Centre Siida, in Inari, northern Lapland.
Following an initial repatriation agreement in 2017, the museum has compiled an inventory of the collection, amassed between 1830 and 1998. To make room for the artefacts, which include the oldest Sámi objects found in Finland, Siida had to build an extension that is now ready to welcome back the region’s treasures.
