The poem Sámi soga lávlla was written by Norwegian Sámi Isak Saba. He was a Norwegian school teacher and a researcher of Sami folklore and politics from Unjárga Municipality.[3] In 1906, he became the first Sami to be elected to the Norwegian Parliament (he was a deputy in 1906-1912). The poem was first published on 1 April 1906 on the Northern Sami in the Norwegian newspaper Sagai Muittalægje.[1][3][4]
In August 1986, the 13th Sámi Conference, was held in the Swedish village of Åre, a poem Sámi soga lávlla was declared the national anthem of the Sami. The music written for these words was composed by the Norwegian Arne Sørli, and was approved in 1992 as the official national anthem at the 15th Sámi Conference in Helsinki.[1][2]
