What can a čiktingeahpa or net needle tell us about Sea Sami culture? Sea Sami narratives ended up in the blind spot of Norwegian history for a long time. However, important artefacts and people’s memories and experiences mean that Sea Sami narratives are being told again. Čiktingeahpa, or the net needle, is one such artefact. This one, an important tool for survival along the Northern Norwegian coast, was created by hand in Altafjorden in 1905 and is made from wood.
