How to do regular weaving, and how to "pick" different patterns. Knowledge Transfer Between people, courses/classes, duodji societies/clubs Practitioners Probably mainly women, but some men also do it. Function Traditional bands made for use on the gákti/ Sámi traditional dress, as well as other purposes. Origins and change The technique is very old. The production of the heddles/looms/njiskun themselves have been modernized and mass produced. Organisations Local Sámi Duodjilag (Sámi handicrafts clubs), Duodjeinstituhtta, Sámij åhpadusguovdásj/Samernas utbildningscentrum in Jokkmokk (Sweden) Places In this area: Várdobáiki samiske senter, Stuornjargga samiid duodji Artefacts Gákti/traditional Sámi clothes and childrens crib (Komse), but also used for other cultures, including the bunad traditions in Norway. Climate Threats Description If the practitioner cannot get a hold of material, they cannot do the cultural practice Technological Threats Description Use of industrial production, new technologies and modern (for example Synthethic materials) can make the products cheaper and more popular, and might contribute to threathening the cultural practice if there are less and less buyers of the products/users of the products made by the cultural practice Decontextualization Description Touristification and misappropriation of woven objects can contribute to less use of the cultural practice if users/buyers of the products do no longer want to use the traditionally made products instead of the "fake" products. Weakened Practice Description If less and less people are interested to learn the practice, and less people are interested in using the products, the practice might disappear. If the transmission between generations stops and the aged practitioners disappear, it will be much harder continuing keeping the cultural practice alive. Loss Threats Description Words and terms explaining how to weave, and also the parts of the loom/parts of the yarn, techniques etc. disappear, and a lot of knowledge can disappear with them, as some of the Sámi terms might be more descriptive and explaining than the Norwegian or English ones. Safeguarding activities Duodjeinstituhtta have practitioners who hold workshops and courses in different areas where there are interested participants. Different Sámi duodjilag (handicrafts clubs) also do courses. State of the practice declining Social sustainability Inclusivity - anyone can learn the cultural practice. Environmental sustainability Use of natural materials, mainly wool and cotton. Economic sustainability Diversifying income sources - practitioners can make and sell products while still managing to work normally.
