Gähtagirjjie sámien organisasjuvdnijde
Gähtagirjjie sámien organisasjuvdnijde – digital toolkit for Sámi organisations.
Running a Sámi Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) is about more than just administration and protocols; it is an act of self-determination and a way of stewarding heritage. A well-functioning organisation in Sápmi can serve as a bridge between tradition and the present, combining modern organisational methods with Sámi values and ways of life. At the heart of this work is the understanding that we act not only in the present, but that we also carry a responsibility both to those who came before us and to the generations yet to come.
