| description | Abstract
This article explores the Sami philosophy of the gift as
a basis for a transformative pedagogical framework.
Grounded on the Sami land-based worldview, this philosophy
calls for the recognition and reciprocation of gifts,
whether gifts of the land, interpersonal gifts or
giftedness of an individual. In particular, the article
considers two Sami concepts, that of
láhi and attáldatand explains how they can
serve as a framework for a Sami pedagogy that takes into
account the central role of the Sami worldview in
contemporary education while simultaneously critically
analysing the colonial structures that continue to impact
Sami society and education.
