There are one or two sami speakers in my community and when there was a cultural fair/get together they were teaching and sharing a bit of it. It reminds me in a way of Tingit or Aleut. It definately belongs in the shire.

Another thing that needs to belong in the shire is after some nine odd years, hearing the same Inuit song my teacher taught my second year class on the radio. Then proceeding to cry for no apparent reason.
