SAJOS CULTURAL CENTRE

Art gallery exhibition space foundation and cultural center

This beautiful cultural center, clad in wood and glass, is home to the Saami Parliament. Created in 1996, its mission is to provide for and implement the autonomy of the Sami as an aboriginal people in matters of culture and language. It is composed of 21 members elected every 4 years. Norway and Sweden have had their own Saami parliaments since 1989 and 1993 respectively. A council with the 3 parliaments has been in operation since 2000. There's a nice cafeteria on site for a gourmet break, as well as a pretty craft store and regularly organized photo exhibitions and concerts.
