UTTC has discovered as many Sami as there are "Eskimos" (Inuits and related) in the far North, about 100,000 people each. The Sami and related peoples use the reindeer, where their western relatives use the Bison in Native American and Circumpolar cultures.
— Patty Inglish, authorUTTC Council
The UTTC has researched the facts behind the relatedness of all Circumpolar Peoples, particularly the Sami of Northern Europe and Russia with Native Americans of the Northern Plains and First Nations of Canada.
UTTC has done this, spurred on by music studies in 2008 of the Sami singing group called Daughters and Sons of the Sun, which includes Mr. Ánte Mikkel Gaup and two daughters Sara Marielle and Lena Susanne from Samiland.
