This is the mobile version of the traditional dwelling. It is supported by two pairs of curved poles that are held in place by a cross-piece and two cross-beams. This basic structure forms the support for thinner poles that are laid around the walls. The outside covering is a broad sheet of wool, loavdda, or a thinner material such as canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lavvo-goahti-and-turf-huts-were-the-three-main-homesteads\">Lavvo, goahti and turf huts were the three main homesteads <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A simpler version of this dwelling is the lavvo. There is more room in a goahti, and it&#8217;s more comfortable than a lavvo. In places where a more permanent dwelling was needed, or if people were going to live somewhere for long periods before moving on, they built a turf hut \u2014 a non-moveable version of the goahti. This has walls of turf and birchbark, and a more solid basic structure consisting of thicker curved rafters and bars. You can see examples of these in the open-air part of the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde16.jpg\" data-size=\"1102x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde16.jpg\" alt=\"The inside of a tent where everything has its place.

The floor area in a goahti is divided into five sections. Seen from the entrance door, a centre line is formed by the uksageah\u010de (door end), then the \u00e1ra (fireplace) and the boa\u0161\u0161u (kitchen area) through the floor area. The area on each side of these makes up the loaiddut, where the occupants live and sleep. The floor of each loaidu is covered with birch twigs with reindeer skins laid over them. Various items of equipment are also kept in the loaidu, such as the dried blister sedge that is used instead of socks inside the fur boots. Members of the family occupy the spaces furthest inside the tent. The area closest to the door opening is kept for guests and servants. A goddess called S\u00e1r\u00e1hkk\u00e1 lived underneath the fireplace, and it was customary to sacrifice a splash of coffee to her. An optional inner tent could be hung to protect people from the cold or insects while they slept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-duodji-handicrafts-and-d-idda-art-are-varied-and-complex-which-continues-today\">Duodji handicrafts and d\u00e1idda art are varied and complex which continues today <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The glass cases of artefacts are like little treasure chests of beautiful things. Horn spoons, small band looms made from bone, knife handles, pin cushions and bowls made out of birch burrs were decorated with beautiful patterns. A rigid geometry was the rule in the southern Sami regions, whereas northern Sami ornamentation shows lighter, more fluid lines. Embroidery with pewter wire was very widespread in the southern Sami area, while the eastern Sami people in Finland and the Kola peninsula in Russia tended towards colourful pearl embroidery. The museum also has a unique collection of Sami contemporary art, which is displayed in exhibitions that change frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde14.jpg\" data-size=\"1100x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde14.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional vuoddagat (shoe bands) with traditional Sami patterns, and a holbi, the edge of the g\u00e1kti (traditional dress), all from the Karasjok area \u00a9 Paula Rauhala\/SVD\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde14.jpg\" data-caption=\"Traditional vuoddagat (shoe bands) with traditional Sami patterns, and a holbi, the edge of the g\u00e1kti (traditional dress), all from the Karasjok area \u00a9 Paula Rauhala\/SVD\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde21.jpg\" data-size=\"1115x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde21-768x551.jpg\" alt=\"Winter clothing, a beaska, made of reindeer and goat fur \u00a9 Paula Rauhala\/SVD\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde21.jpg\" data-caption=\"Winter clothing, a beaska, made of reindeer and goat fur \u00a9 Paula Rauhala\/SVD\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde13.jpg\" data-size=\"1177x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde13-768x522.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional dress from the Karasjok area \u00a9 Paula Rauhala\/SVD\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde13.jpg\" data-caption=\"Traditional dress from the Karasjok area \u00a9 Paula Rauhala\/SVD\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Traditional vuoddagat (shoe bands) with traditional Sami patterns, and a holbi, the edge of the g\u00e1kti (traditional dress), all from the Karasjok area \u00a9 Paula Rauhala\/SVD<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Winter clothing, a beaska, made of reindeer and goat fur \u00a9 Paula Rauhala\/SVD<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Traditional dress from the Karasjok area \u00a9 Paula Rauhala\/SVD<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-g-kti-is-the-traditional-dress-of-the-sami\">G\u00e1kti is the traditional dress of the Sami<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sami costumes are also displayed in the permanent exhibitions, including hats, belts and details from the costumes. The costumes vary from area to area in the Sami homelands, but certain elements of the costumes also show which family someone belongs to, who they are related to, or whether they are married or not. Since this is a living costume tradition, the clothes are constantly changing. The wearer&#8217;s and the seamstress&#8217;s personal taste also plays a part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-goavddis-is-the-drum-used-to-enter-the-spirit-world\">Goavddis is the drum used to enter the spirit world<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Noaidi was the Sami religious leader in pre-Christian times. The drum was noaidi&#8217;s tool for communicating with the world of gods called S\u00e1ivo, where the dead also lived. On the drum skin there is a myriad of small figures representing deities and the forces of nature. In the south of the Sami area, the figures are centered around the sun sign, in the north the figures are layered in rows. The noaidi Paul-\u00c1nde, Anders Poulsen, born in Tornio and living in Utsjok and later in Varanger, was imprisoned and his drum confiscated in 1692. A copy of this is on display. The museum is working on the return of this drum from the National Museum in Copenhagen to S\u00e1pmi &#8211; the land of the Sami. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde2.jpg\" data-size=\"1205x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde2.jpg\" alt=\"House for sedentary inland Sami \u00a9 Paula Rauhala\/SVD\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde2.jpg\" data-caption=\"House for sedentary inland Sami \u00a9 Paula Rauhala\/SVD\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde9.jpg\" data-size=\"942x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde9-768x652.jpg\" alt=\"Njalla, a storage hut on a pole, is made to protect against pillaging from wild animals \u00a9 Jelena Porsanger\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde9.jpg\" data-caption=\"Njalla, a storage hut on a pole, is made to protect against pillaging from wild animals \u00a9 Jelena Porsanger\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde6.jpg\" data-size=\"1398x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Bilde6-768x439.jpg\" alt=\"Lavdnjegoahti - turf hut - og luovvi - a wooden construction for outdoor storage.
