The Seto people are a Finno-ugric language speaking minority inhabiting the South-Eastern part of Estonia called Setomaa, characterized by Orthodox Christian traditions and a unique song-based culture called Seto leelo. Their history spans thousands of years of settlement in the region and is marked by shifts in political borders, particularly after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Despite facing challenges from cultural assimilation and a divided homeland, the Seto people maintain a distinct identity, with Setomaa as a focal point for their cultural heritage.
