Buošši Award
In Nord-Troms, "buošši" is a gender-neutral term of honour given to individuals who distinguish themselves through hard work, commitment, courage, and proactivity.
The Buošši Prize is a cultural award that honours individuals, teams or associations who have made a significant contribution to promoting the sea Sámi language and culture – either through their work, their commitment, or by being inspiring role models in their local community.
