About this statute

This provision is a chapter heading for general provisions. The provision says the law protects Sami language and culture rights, including the right to use Sami in courts and other authorities, and requires public authorities to support those linguistic rights. This section says which authorities and bodies this law applies to, mainly certain municipal, state, regional, oversight, and other named bodies in specified northern municipalities and related areas. This section defines several terms used in the Act. A Sami person may use Sami with the authorities covered by this law when speaking in their own case or when heard. Authorities must not limit or ignore these language rights because the Sami person also knows another language.
