Luujärvi

Luujärvi, known in Russian as Lovozero, is a Sámi settlement by the Virma near Lake Lovozero in the interior of the Kola Peninsula. Records mention the Lovozero siida in 1574 and the settlement again in 1608. Its Sámi name refers to a community by the lake. The surrounding lakes, rivers and tundra belonged to the lands of the Kildin Sámi, whose seasonal use of the interior connected fishing, hunting and reindeer herding.
