Sami Church Council (Church Of Norway)
The Sami Church Council (n.sa. ''Sámi girkoráđđi'', l.sa. ''Sáme girkoráde'', s.sa. ''Saemien gærhkoeraerie'') is the organ of the Church of Norway responsible for Sámi church life. It answers to the General Synod of the Church of Norway. Background The history of the Sámi people is one of marginalisation and Norwegianization – the government policy of forced assimilation of the Sámi into Norwegian society. Christian missions among the Sámi people go back to the Middle Ages, but from 1700 the Protestant and pietistic mission among the Sámi, together with state colonialism, brought lasting changes to the Sámi society (as well as religion). From around 1850 a very rough assimilation policy held the Sámi people in a firm grip until 1980. This period may be referred to as the Dark Ages of the Sami people. This assimilation policy permeated the public officials, schools and the Church of Norway. In parts of Sápmi the Sámi culture and language was eradicated during ...

The Sámi have historically been known in English as Lapps or Laplanders, but these terms are regarded as offensive by the Sámi, who prefer the area's name in their own languages, e.g. Northern Sámi . Their traditional languages are the Sámi languages, which are classified as a branch of the Uralic language family. Traditionally, the Sámi have pursued a variety of livelihoods, including coastal fishing, fur trapping, and sheep herding.

Nils Jernsletten
Nils Johannes (Juho-Niillas) Jernsletten (14 September 1934; Tana, Norway – 20 May 2012) was a professor of Sámi at University of Tromsø, and editor of Sámi newspaper Ságat (1964-1966.) In 2005, he was made a Commander of the Royal Norwegian Order of St Olav was conferred upon him. His article, Joik and Communication, published in 1977, argues that joiking is a form of communication that is best understood as representing a particular milieu, which cannot be adequately communicated through recording or when performed on stage. This criticism, along with commercial factors, partially led to the end of the joik renaissance of the 1970s in Sami-populated areas in Scandinavia.

Council On Ecumenical And International Relations (Church Of Norway)
A council is a group of people who come together to consult, deliberate, or make decisions. A council may function as a legislature, especially at a town, city or county/shire level, but most legislative bodies at the state/provincial or national level are not considered councils. At such levels, there may be no separate executive branch, and the council may effectively represent the entire government. A board of directors might also be denoted as a council. A committee might also be denoted as a council, though a committee is generally a subordinate body composed of members of a larger body, while a council may not be. Because many schools have a student council, the council is the form of governance with which many people are likely to have their first experience as electors or participants. A member of a council may be referred to as a councillor or councilperson, or by the gender-specific titles of councilman and councilwoman. In politics Notable examples of types of coun ...

The municipality of Oslo had a population of in 2022, while the city's greater urban area had a population of in 2019, and the metropolitan area had an estimated population of in 2021. During the Viking Age the area was part of Viken.

The city was elevated to a bishopric in 1070 and a capital under Haakon V of Norway around 1300. Personal unions with Denmark from 1397 to 1523 and again from 1536 to 1814 reduced its influence.
