has abstract	Sámi Americans are Americans of Sámi descent, who originate from Sapmi, the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula of Russia. The term Lapp Americans has been historically used, though lapp is considered derogatory by the Sámi. It has been estimated that there are 30,000 people of Sámi ancestry living in North America. Many Sámi Americans' ancestors initially moved to Alaska during the late 19th century. There, they were involved in efforts funded by the United States Government to teach reindeer husbandry to Alaska Natives. In the decades that followed, many Sámi were forced to leave Alaska and seek out livelihoods elsewhere. The traditions and culture of these scattered immigrants were further repressed by pressure to assimilate within Anglo-American society. As a result, very few Americans of Sámi descent are aware of their ancestry and many traditions have not been preserved outside of small communities. In 2000, a total of 945 American residents self-reported Sámi ancestry on their census. Although the actual number of Americans of Sami descent is unknown, it is estimated that approximately 30,000 people of Sami ancestry live in North America.
