The heddle is traditionally made from wood or antler, but modern ones are also made with modern materials like plastic. 1459 Kjersti Robertsen Norweigan and northern Sámi Intangible 941 Båndveving med njuskun/grindvev How to make the warp, how to put the threads through the rigid heddle loom for the wanted pattern. How to do regular weaving, and how to "pick" different patterns. Mainly women, though some men do it too. The technique is very old. The production of the heddles/looms/njiskun themselves has been modernised and mass-produced. Local Sámi Duodjilag (Sámi handicrafts clubs), Duodjeinstituhtta, Sámij åhpadusguovdásj/Samernas utbildningscentrum in Jokkmokk (Sweden) In this area: Várdobáiki samiske senter, Stuornjargga samiid duodji If the practitioner cannot get a hold of material, they cannot do the cultural practice Use of industrial production, new technologies and modern (for example, synthetic materials) can make the products cheaper and more popular, and might contribute to threatening the cultural practice if there are fewer and fewer buyers of the products/users of the products made by the cultural practice Touristification and the misappropriation of woven objects can lead to reduced use of the cultural practice if users/buyers of the products no longer want to use traditionally made products, instead opting for "fake" products. If fewer and fewer people are interested in learning the practice and using the products, the practice might disappear. If the transmission between generations stops and the aged practitioners disappear, it will be much harder to keep the cultural practice alive. 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 explanatory than the Norwegian or English ones.

Inclusivity - anyone can learn the cultural practice. Use of natural materials, mainly wool and cotton. Diversifying income sources - practitioners can make and sell products while still managing to work normally. fibre and textile crafts Duodjeinstituhtta has practitioners who hold workshops and courses in different areas where there are interested participants. Different Sámi duodjilag (handicrafts clubs) also do courses. declining Ramavuolle, Reinåsen, Tjeldsund, Troms, Norway MN_CP_08 Deterioration of material Industrial production,Surge of new technologies,Use of modern materials Touristification,Misappropriation Aged practitioners,Diminishing participation,Diminishing youth interest,Haltered transmission between generations,Reduced practice Loss of ancestral language,Loss of cultural spaces,Loss of knowledge Decent work and economic growth Traditional bands are made for use on the gákti / Sámi traditional dress, as well as for other purposes.
