The signing will take place at <\/strong>at the RDM-Kautokeino Open-Air Museum in Guovdageaidnu\/Kautokeino<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

B\u00e5\u00e5stede \u2013 Returning Sami cultural heritage<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The rollback project was named B\u00e5\u00e5stede - re-establishing S\u00e1mi cultural heritage<\/em>. A key starting point has been the right to manage and convey one's own cultural heritage on one's own terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 19th and 20th centuries, 4,200 items were collected from all over S\u00e1pmi for the Ethnographic Museum at the University of Oslo, which later became part of the Museum of Cultural History. The items were eventually deposited at the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History. This Sami collection in Oslo was primarily assembled before Sami institutions existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming home<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The items will now be incorporated into their original linguistic and cultural environments, and thus, among other things, contribute to the revitalisation of duodji and language. They will be an important knowledge base for the S\u00e1mi people, who have lost much over the ages as a result of Norwegianisation and war. The hope is that after the return, the project partners will have better conditions for working together on research and dissemination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the agreement now being signed, the first part of the project is complete. There is still a need for funding for the upgrade of storage facilities and exhibition spaces at the Sami museums, as well as for strengthening the expertise in handling the artefacts. All of this must be in place before the cultural heritage can return home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
