This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

The
Sami flag is the flag of the
Sami people people, whose homeland is known to them as Sápmi (to others as Lapland). It was officially recognized in 1986 by the
Nordic Sami Conference (Pohjoismainen saamelaiskongressi, Nordiska Samekonferensen) to be used in
Sami people contexts.
The Sami flag was inaugurated during the Saami Conference in
Åre, Sweden on
August 15, 1986. It was the result of a competition for which many suggestions were entered. The winning design was submitted by the artist Astrid Båhl from Skibotn, in Troms, Norway.
The motif was derived from the shaman's drum and the poem "Paiven parneh" ("Sons of the Sun") by the south Saami Anders Fjellner (
1795-1876). Fjellner described the Saami as sons and daughters of the sun.
The four colours of the Sami flag (red, blue, green and yellow) are the colours of
gákti, the traditional Sami costume. The circle is intended to symbolise both the moon and the sun, the blue part representing the moon and the red part the sun. Pantone Matching System colour formula is: red 485C, green 356C, yellow 116C and blue 286C.
