Lihkku beivviin! Læhkoeh biejjine! Vuorbbe biejvijn! Idag firas Samefolkets dag! I mitt kontor hänger bl.a. ett vykort med ett gammalt foto av samiska elever i Kautokeino samt ett skosnöre. En samisk kollega till mig har lärt mig fläta dessa.

Nu finns Greta Gris på #nordsamiska, #lulesamiska och #sydsamiska. Underbart att mer och mer populär barnkultur görs tillgänlig på #minoritetsspråk. Det behövs om språklig revitalisering ska lyckas! www.nrk.no/sapmi/na-sna...
