Mastergradsavhandling som undersøker stillheten rundt homofili i Sápmi. Undersøkelsen er basert på tre feltarbeid og åtte intervjuer. Fortielsen av homofile ses på i et historisk perspektiv og utforsker forskjellige aspekter av stillheten rundt temaet i dagens Sápmi. Løvolds forskning viser også hva som skjer når homofile samer selv bryter denne stillheten. Engelsk tekst.

This thesis is an investigation of the silence of queerness in Sápmi, and is empirically based on three fieldworks and eight interviews. The thesis will question the silence within a historical perspective, and explore different aspects of the silence in Sápmi today. The main focus will be on queer Sami in Norway, but will also voice queer Sami from Sweden and Finland. I will therefore include a discussion on the silence in the queer community in Norway, but the main focus will be on the silence in Sápmi. My research will also look into what was revealed when the queer Sami in this thesis break the silence.
