Sami National Day
On February 6th of 1917, northern and southern Sámi crossed their National borders to come together for their first meeting in Trondheim, Norway. So The Sami National Day has been celebrated for over 30 years, as it was made an official flag day on 1993. However, it was noted down in the Finnish official almanac only in 2004.The Sámi council, a cooperation organization of the Sámi people of Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia (Sámiráddi/ Samerådet/ Sámi council), decided to launch a flag design competition in the 1980s. 
The winning flag was designed by Norwegian Sámi Astrid Båhl. Bright red, blue, yellow and green flutter in the flag he designed. The same colors have traditionally been used in Sámi costumes.
The flag was accepted as the official symbol of the Sámi people at the 13th Nordic conference of the Sámi people in Åre on August 15, 1986. At the same time, another national symbol was also accepted: Sámi soga lávlla / The song of the Sámi family.
