High-level education in S\u00e1mi, for the S\u00e1mi<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The establishment of the S\u00e1mi University of Applied Sciences (SUAS) in 1989 fulfilled a long-term goal of offering S\u00e1mi language teacher education in a S\u00e1mi language environment. Three decades later, SUAS has approximately 270 students and offers an array of courses and degrees, varying from traditional S\u00e1mi handicrafts to journalism. What makes the institution unique is its language policy: the main language of instruction is S\u00e1mi. SUAS is located in Guovdageaidnu, a traditional S\u00e1mi town where the majority of the population still uses S\u00e1mi language in their everyday life.<\/p>\n

The SUAS contributes to revitalizing S\u00e1mi languages in three ways. First, the institution has played a vital role in developing an academic S\u00e1mi language. The use of S\u00e1mi as the primary working language in the SUAS\u2019s research and administration has inspired new vocabulary related to the university setting. Not only is S\u00e1mi the main language of the SUAS, but S\u00e1mi culture is present throughout the university experience as all education and research is conducted from an Indigenous perspective.<\/p>\n

Second, the SUAS developed a special language learning methodology directed toward S\u00e1mi who have lost their language and non-S\u00e1mi who wish to learn the language. In addition to teaching in the classroom, students learn the language by interacting with holders of traditional S\u00e1mi knowledge while fishing, cutting grass for traditional shoes, or visiting reindeer herds.<\/p>\n

Finally, the SUAS contributes to S\u00e1mi communities by providing strong skillsets for the next generation of S\u00e1mi-speaking teachers, journalists, and traditional handicrafts specialists, and offering higher education for fishers and reindeer herders in their Indigenous mother tongue. Students have a chance to participate in exchange programs in cooperation with other Indigenous institutions in the Arctic, creating a circumpolar network of Indigenous experts.<\/p>\n
