Study materials team

Preparing study materials was a crucial part of the programme. An Indigenous or minority language that has hardly ever been taught earlier often lacks any study materials. Most often the instructor prepares them during his/her spare time, mainly during late evening hours.

CASLE's head teacher Petter Morottaja and Project Manager Marja-Liisa Olthuis listening to Iisak Mattus, one of the very first Aanaar Saami teachers who started Aanaar Saami teaching at school in the 1970's, practically without any study materials.
