Sámi people still exists, sure, but their culture has changed a lot, naturally. They live in modern houses, use snow mobiles and helicopters for herding the reindeers (many work in "regular" jobs), buy most food from shops just as anyone else. Of course they are well aware of their roots and proud of their history.
Just an anecdote: my grandmother was born as Sámi, so I could officially have the Sámi status as well (but my kids not anymore), although I don't speak the language nor have much connections with the culture.
