Sami Parliament (Sámediggi)

The Sami Parliament (Sámediggi) is a representative body established in Norway to give the Sami people, indigenous to northern regions, a platform to express their cultural, political, and social concerns. It operates as an elected council with authority to advise on policies affecting Sami communities, promote Sami language and culture, and oversee certain regional issues. While it does not have legislative power over national laws, it plays a vital role in safeguarding Sami rights, ensuring their voice is heard in decisions impacting their land, identity, and well-being within the broader Norwegian political framework.
