History of the anthem
editThe poem Sámi soga lávlla was written by Norwegian Sámi Isak Saba, a Norwegian school teacher and a researcher of Sami folklore and politics from Unjárga Municipality.[3] In 1906, he became the first Sami to be elected to the Norwegian Parliament (he was a deputy in 1906–1912). The poem was first published on 1 April 1906 on front page of the first issue of Sagai Muittalægje, a Northern Sami language Norwegian newspaper.[1][3][4]
In August 1986, during the 13th Sámi Conference in Åre, Sweden, Sámi soga lávlla was declared the national anthem of the Sami. The music was written for the poem by Norwegian composor Arne Sørli , and in 1992 it was approved as the score for the national anthem at the 15th Sámi Conference in Helsinki, Finland.[1][2]
