Sámi allaskuvla is a leading higher education and research institution in the Sámi territory as well as the indigenous world. Sámi allaskuvla conducts research in many scientific fields. The research includes linguistics, culture, reindeer husbandry and other traditional industries, traditional knowledge, journalism, place names, the modern society and history; policy research at local, national and international levels and other fields. Sámi allaskuvla actively promotes Sámi research as an integral part of the Indigenous research.
Some aspects of the Sámi allaskuvla’s research activity is funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers. This is the legacy of the former Nordic Sámi Institute.
