Sámi Áigi
''Sámi Áigi'' was a Northern Sámi-language weekly newspaper established in 1978, providing an alternative to the Norwegian-language Sámi publication ''Ságat''. ''Sámi Áigi'' played a prominent role in building and empowering Sámi identity during the Alta controversy and throughout the 1980s. History was launched with the backing of the Norwegian Sámi Association, Norwegian Reindeer Husbandry Association, and the Saami Council to build connections among the Sámi of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The new paper was based in Kárášjohka, Norway, but had readers across Sápmi. The development of a pan-Scandinavian Northern Sámi orthography gave additional relevancy to the new newspaper. Its first issue was published in January 1979, with the following text on the front page: "The time of darkness is soon over. The time of the Sámi 'Sámi Áigi''has come". It quickly drew readers away from the more conservative ''Ságat'' and within a year of launch the papers had a si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tabloid (newspaper Format)
A tabloid is a newspaper format characterized by its compact size, smaller than a broadsheet. The term originates from the 19th century, when the London-based pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline, Burroughs Wellcome & Co. used the term to describe Tablet (pharmacy), compressed pills, later adopted by newspapers to denote condensed content. There are two main types of tabloid newspaper: red tops and Compact (newspaper), compact, distinguished by editorial style. Red top tabloids are distinct from broadsheet newspapers, which traditionally cater to more affluent, educated audiences with in-depth reporting and analysis. However, the line between tabloids and broadsheets has blurred in recent decades, as many broadsheet newspapers have adopted tabloid or compact formats to reduce costs and attract readers. Globally, the tabloid format has been adapted to suit regional preferences and media landscapes. In countries like Germany and Australia, tabloids such as ''Bild'' and ''The ...

Sámi Flag
The Sámi flag is the flag of Sápmi and the Sámi people, one of the Indigenous people groups of the Nordic countries and the Kola Peninsula of the Russian Federation. First Sámi flag The first, unofficial Sámi flag was designed by Sami politician and activist Marit Stueng from Kárašjohka in 1962, using a blue, red, and yellow color pattern commonly used on gákti, the traditional Sámi garb. The design was used locally in Kárašjohka as a flag, as well as in publications such as ''Kátalåga 1971''. ''Kátalåga 1971'' was published in 1972 by the Karasjok Library for Sámi Literature, and the cover was designed by Nils Viktor Aslaksen. With the growth of Sámi activism and the ČSV movement, several proposals for a Sámi flag were developed, although none gained prominence until the Alta controversy. In 1977, as the protests in Alta Municipality over a dam on the river Altaelva grew, Sámi artist Synnøve Persen from Porsáŋggu Municipality made the artworks ...

ČSV
ČSV is an initialism used to promote Sámi identity and activism. The three letters are the most commonly used in Sámi languages. The combination of the three letters is explained as a play with word, meaning that it can stand for a variety of meanings. ČSV is commonly associated with meanings such as (Show Sámi Spirit), (Secret Sámi Helper), (Gather for Victory) and (Pure Sámi Blood). History In the early 1970s, Sámi activists adopted ČSV as a watchword similar to how the American Indian Movement and the Black Panthers used the phrases "Red Power" and "Black Power" respectively. ČSV did not represent a group, but more of an idea that minority groups should take a more confrontational stance in demanding change. is credited with coming up with the purposefully vague acronym during the protests in Máze, Norway in 1970, saying that it stood for (Secret Sámi Helper).

Altaelva
Altaelva (; ; ) is the third-longest river in Finnmark county, Norway. The river begins in the mountains and lakes in Kautokeino Municipality, near the border with Finnmark county and Finland, just south of Reisa National Park. The long river then runs northward into Alta Municipality where it flows out into the Altafjorden in the town of Alta. The river has carved out Sautso, one of the largest canyons in Europe on its way from the high Finnmarksvidda plateau down to the sea. The villages of Kautokeino and Masi are located along the river, in addition to the town of Alta. During the 1970s and 1980s, the river was the site of the Alta controversy regarding the construction of a dam and hydroelectric power plant. The Alta power station was eventually built in 1987, creating the lake Virdnejávri on the river. The river is one of the best salmon rivers in Norway, known for its large-sized salmon. In older days, salmon up to were recorded, and still fish up to are caught. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
