Mån lav Risstin - I am Christine. <br.>

My name is Kristin Leifsdatter Lindbach. I am a master student of linguistics at NTNU. Saami Linguistics Symposium <br.>

I live in Siljárbahkko/Skilvassbakk in Hábmer/Hamarøy municipality in Lule Sami area. Here, my husband Harald and I have a small farm with some sheep, the mare Rosita - which we use in farm work and forestry, a number of rabbits, and the cat Miri. Throughout the years, goats, a cow and calf, and a number of different races of hens, ducks and geese have also been passing through the fences of our farm, which we run ecologically in the traditional way. Four of our children have been raised here. Today most of them are off for studies or work. Skilvassbakk <br.>

I have learned both North Sami and Lule Sami, but I am not a frequent speaker of Sami - and my language ability is suffering from this. But there are other fluent speakers of Sami at home - my husband, a fluent speaker of North Sami, two children who have learned Lule Sami on first language level, and a third on second language level. <br.>

Arnhild, my first daughter, changed from North Sami language-and-culture level to Lule Sami second-language level at Måsske/Musken school in 9th grade and then did her 10th grade in the Sami first-language class at Ájluokta/Drag School (both in Divtasvuona/Tysfjord municipality), followed by higschool and university studies, now a master student of linguistics at NTNU (- like mother...). She is mother of Kristine - or Risstin in Lule Sami, with whom she speaks solely in Lule Sami. Learning Sami <br.> Hans Ole, my fourth son, did two years at the Sami kindergarten, first in Musken and then at Arran Lule Sami Center at Ájluokta/Drag, before he began school in the Sami first-language class, where he is now doing his 8th year at school. Lule Sami first-language pupils <br.> Kristmar, my second daughter, did two years at North Sami language-and-culture level befor she changed to second-language level in Måsske/Musken and continued at Ájluokta/Drag, where she graduated. Confirmation in Måsske/Musken <br.> Harald, my husband, has taught North Sami and is the author of several books on first-language level for 2nd to 4th grade, a beginner's book for highschool students and a mini grammar for use in school - as well as poems and a picture book in both North Sami and Lule Sami.
