Research – Centre for Sami Studies

Research in Sami and Indigenous Peoples’ issues are a high priority at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
Sami and Indigenous Peoples’ issues are a central part of research and teaching at the Centre for Sami Studies. This focus has been encouraged and developed since the Centre joined the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education in 2013.

Research at the Centre for Sami Studies focuses on local and global aspects of indigenous issues. It draws on extensive experience in Sami studies developed at UiT The Arctic University of Norway over many years.
