Riddu Ri\u0111\u0111u and the Centre for Northern Peoples present the Buo\u0161\u0161i Prize during this year's Riddu Ri\u0111\u0111u festival.

Sajje Solbakk, Festival Director of Riddu Ri\u0111\u0111u festiv\u00e1la, is proud to announce the Sea Sami Award for the second time: - It feels good to present the Buo\u0161\u0161i Award! We know of many people who deserve to be honoured for the way they make the Sea Sami language and culture visible, and there's something special about being honoured by your own people. We're excited to receive suggestions from the public, and hope for a wide range of nominations!<\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Svein O. Leiros, CEO of the Centre for Northern Peoples, is also looking forward to honouring important cultural players in the region: \"It's great that we're awarding this year's buo\u0161\u0161i again. Honouring the Sea Sami in our region who have contributed to lifting and promoting our Sea Sami identity, culture and language is incredibly important and not least very enjoyable. As general manager of the Centre for Northern Peoples, I'm also very happy that we have a new collaboration with Riddu Riddu. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year's winner of the Sea Sami Honour Award was Bj\u00f8rg Fossli from Manndalen in K\u00e5fjord. The jury particularly emphasised Bj\u00f8rg's efforts as a language carrier and her commitment and efforts for the Sea Sami home municipality. As the award winner herself said during the award ceremony; \u201cWhat else are you supposed to do? Sit at home and knit?\u00bb.<\/em> <\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
