Nuorta-Finnmárku Duodjeinstituhtta
Many Sami have lost their Sami identity, duodji (craftsmanship) competence and/or language due to the process of Norwegianization. Through duodji, individuals have the opportunity to recover their identity and pass it on to future generations.
Work can have a positive impact because duodji is a cultural marker to reinforce or recover the lost Sami identity. Also, it will revitalize the duodji competition in the region, with the repercussion of generating an exchange of knowledge about local patterns.
