Newspaper articles on Sami school history

Sami school history (Sami: Sámi skuvlahistorjá, Norwegian: Samisk skolehistorie) is a book and internet project, which started in 2002. There are published 6 books about Sami school history in Norway, by the publishing house Davvi Girji There is started similar work to collect information about the Samis who have got their education in Sweden, Finland and Russia.

The books are published with parallell text in Sami and Norwegian language, and parts of the first book is translated into English and published in internet. However we have found that we neither have money nor capacity to translate all the articles of all the books. Instead we have translated a series of newspaper articles which make a summary of topics in the book series. These articles were edited by the main author and published in Sami newspaper Min Áigi, later Ávvir. From the second book was published in 2007, there have been published a series of articles each time a new book has been published.
