Abstract
I was born in 1972 in a Sámi and Sámi-speaking family in Nuorgam, located in the Sámi region of Finland. My father worked as a comprehensive school principal while my mother was a homemaker. Several historically significant events concerning Sámi education took place at the time I began school because I went to the first Sámi-speaking class where teaching took place through the new orthography of Sámi language. I was able to study in Sámi language during the whole primary education.
