About<\/h2>\n

Identity is shaped by, among other things, a shared language, culture, and history. This short documentary offers insight into how two Southern Sami sisters perceive their identity, what they take pride in and the challenges they navigate. It is a story of how belonging to a minority can be both empowering and demanding. It comes with certain expectations \u2013 from the Southern Sami community, from Norwegian society, and from the sisters themselves. <\/p>\n

This documentary is part of an educational resource developed for high schools. The online platform also features another short documentary, offering other perspectives on Southern Sami identities. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Pedagogical value<\/h3>\n

This film is a part of a larger teaching resource on youth and identity. In the Norwegian curriculum, Sami perspectives are integrated across all subjects and levels, and highlighted in the Core Curriculum. This resource is specifically designed for upper secondary students and aligns with the competence aims in Norwegian and social studies, as well as interdisciplinary topics. The films explore different aspects of South Sami identity through the experiences of two sets of siblings. One pair is deeply connected to the reindeer herding industry, which plays a central role in shaping their identity. Their way of life is The other, who do not own reindeer, find a strong sense of belonging in mastering the South Sami language, a highly endangered language with only 500 speakers. While their paths differ, they share common challenges as members of a national minority, navigating the complexities of expectations from both Sami and Norwegian society. Although the films are grounded in a specific cultural context, they address universal themes that resonate with young people beyond the Sami community. In the Writing Centre's mandate, we find that the center shall contribute to increase the quality of writing instruction and thereby increase the competence in writing as a basic skill. Also, the center shall contribute to the stimulation of writing and the joy of writing in school. To support this, a variety of oral and written activities have been developed for classroom use. However, the resource is not solely intended to deepen students\u2019 knowledge of Sami culture or identity. Just as important is the opportunity for students to reflect on their own identities, developing greater self-awareness and fostering a deeper tolerance for others. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
