We explore how language shapes intimacy, emotional connection, and identity in relationships, especially when partners don’t share the same native language or cultural background.

Pacific Sámi Searvi was created to bring together people in the diaspora, embracing Sámi culture and community. Our mission is to honor, cultivate, and expand understanding of Sámi culture, heritage, and contemporary issues.
