Centre for northern peoples

Davvi álbmogiid guovddáš - Centre for Northern Peoples

Davvi álbmogiid guovddáš (DÁG) is a Sea Sámi museum and a vibrant Sámi cultural centre that covers the whole of Sápmi and the High North. Our aim is to preserve, develop and disseminate the cultures of the Sámi, indigenous and northern peoples - with particular emphasis on the Sea Sámi tradition.

Today, the centre houses a wide range of functions and services: a museum, Sami language centre, library, exhibition rooms, kitchen and office space. Among the Sami organisations located here are the Sami Parliament, Riddu Riđđu Festivála, Giellasiida (Sami language centre) and the Sami library service. In addition, Kåfjord municipality has its public library, cultural school and youth club in the centre.

DÁG is part of the Sámi cultural centre structure and covers the North Troms region in particular. Its operation is supported by the Sami Parliament and Troms County Council, among others.
