The battle for the Skolt Sami language
"The language holds knowledge that cannot be conveyed in other words. It is the unwritten history of the people," says Hanna-Maria Kiprianoff, director of the Skolt Sami museum in Neiden. On the Norwegian side, Skolt Sami speakers can be counted on one hand, in Finland there are just over three hundred, and in Russia, before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, there were fewer than fifty. The language may disappear along with the culture.
