Sámi Made
The Sámi Made certification mark is a new trademark developed to support Sámi creative industries. All Sámis can use the certification mark on their products. The purpose of the certification mark is to tell the buyer which products are made by Sámis or Sámi majority-owned companies. Products that draw inspiration from Sámi culture, but which are not made by Sámis, are a huge challenge for the Sámi society. When you buy products with the Sámi Made mark, you will know that you support Sámi businesses and the Sámi community.
The Sámi Made certification mark is managed and distributed by the Saami Council. It is now possible to apply for the Sámi Made certification mark. If you have questions about the Sámi Made trademark, get in touch with the Saami Council:
