The Southern Saami Language in Svahken Sijte

The Southern Saami language is one of several Saami languages in Scandinavia and Northwest Russia. Today the Southern Saami language is an endangered language; most of the speakers are older people. This article describes an effort to transmit the language to the children in Svahken Sijte, the southernmost reindeer herding community in Norway.
