Sámi education is a shared, and simultaneously divided, enterprise of four nation states. Sámi writing instruction is also influenced by the writing didactics of the majority languages.

This chapter suggests that although the model can to a large extent describe many discourses for the Indigenous Sámi context, there is a need to expand the layers of the model.
