It is also home to the indigenous Sami people. Their livelihood includes fur trapping, coastal fishing, as well as sheep and reindeer herding.• DYK? Among the things Sweden brought is Pewdiepie (famous YouTuber), H&M, Spotify, Minecraft, IKEA, Volvo & Saab, ABBA and Pippi Longstocking (a famous children's book by Astrid Lindgren).
