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 investigates the appropriateness of one non-Indigenous model for writing instruction in the North Sámi context. 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.
