Inari straddles the Juutua River in Finnish Lapland, and the river’s outlet into Lake Inari has made the settlement an important meeting point in Finland’s Sámi homeland. Lake Inari, one of the country’s largest lakes, spreads north and east of the village in a broad mosaic of islands and open water. Inari is a key place for Sámi public life: Sajos is home to the Sámi Parliament of Finland, while Siida presents Sámi heritage and the nature of northern Lapland. Reindeer husbandry, fishing and duodji, the traditional Sámi craft, remain central references in the area’s culture.
