I don't know whether the Saami Council is properly representative of the culture, or whether it's a fair thing for them to seek money. But I do know that artistically, those are very similar outfits, far more than any of the other images posted above.
But those big things are present in cultures the Saami descend from e.g various cultures of the Great Steppe, there are also other Steppe-descended groups in Northern Europe who wear a similar dress. this is a huge reach your going on tbh.
