Ja, ich halt ja schon die Klappe - unfairer vergleich.
Naja, glasklar ist das Wasser da oben auch. Alles andere ist natürlich Geschmackssache (ich mag das kräftig blaue Wasser lieber als türkis).sunny1011 hat geschrieben: Nöh, ich bin eh kein Seewassermensch. Für mich gibt's nur glasklares türkises Meerwasser. .

Skolt Saami celebrated the 60th anniversary of their resettlement in northern Finland this past weekend with church service, music, party and visitors...
Nearly 1,000 Saami from all over the world and from various parts of Finland had gathered in a festival tent in the yard of the 60-year-old school of Sevettijärvi, in order to exchange the latest information about the Skolts’ way of life.
Shoes were clattering on the dance floor when pairs were performing quadrilles, and a rare variety of yoik called leudd, a long, epic poem, was heard in many versions, including the rock version by Tiina Sanila, known as the Madonna of the Skolt Saami.
The tent was glowing like a rainbow, and people were stomping their feet on the floor full of joy and hope. The festival had been built night in and night out, the dresses had been given finishing touches still in the small hours, and skilled cooks from across Finland had prepared the meals, reports the Helsingin Sanomat.
The efforts were crowned by an important event. Tarja Halonen, Finland's repsident arrived at the festival, expressing her support for the revival of Skolt Saami and Skolt culture.
Today, the number of Skolts in Finland is approximately 600, with about 250 of them living in Sevettijärvi.
The Skolt Saami or Skolts are a prominent Orthodox ethnic group in Finnish Lapland.
During the Winter War (1939) and the Continuation War (1941-1944), the Skolt Saami were evacuated twice from their original homelands close to Petsamo (nowadays Pechenga) to other parts of Finland.
After leaving behind burned villages, slaughtered reindeer, and facing deportations conducted by the Red Army, the Skolt Saami eventually settled in the villages of Nellim and Sevettijärvi in the municipality of Inari, in the far north of Finnish Lapland.
Today, Skolt Saami are celebrating and looking forward to the future.
”There is quiet hope”, says Pirjo Semenoff, who is in charge of an immersion program for Skolt children in Ivalo.
Her children know that the Finnish word tutti (”dummy”, "pacifier") is njiimtök in Skolt Sámi.
The children learn fast. Within a year they have learned enough to use Skolt Saami as their everyday language.
”But there is a risk that at school the use of Skolt Saami could discontinue. Who would teach children how to write in Skolt Saami?” Semenoff worries.
In honour of the jubilee year, a new Skolt Sámi grammar was published. While a new spelling book is being waited for, teachers who are skilled in Skolt Saami are also being sought.
The number of Skolt Saami in Finland is approximately 600, of whom 250 live in the area of Sevettijärvi.
Until the 1940s, most of the Skolt Saami lived in the Kola Peninsula. When Pechenga (Petsamo in Finnish) was ceded to the Soviet Union in 1944, the Skolt Saami were moved to Inari.
In the period from 1949 to 1952, the Skolt Saami were relocated to Nellim and Sevettijärvi.
The Skolt Saami were given a school of their own in 1949, an ABC in 1972, and electricity in 1979.
The main industry of the Skolt Saami is reindeer husbandry.
The Skolt Saami are the most throughly examined and researched part of the Finnish population, whether it comes to their health, their genes, or their language and culture, notes the Helsingin Sanomat.
