'''''' is a Northern Sámi religious publication based in Norway. It has published continuously since 1898, making it the longest running Sámi publication still being published.

==History== (modern Northern Sámi spelling ), which means "The Eastern Star," was founded by "sled preacher" Gustav Lund, a travelling pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Free Church of Norway who sought to evangelize Sámi in part by using their native tongue. In 1898, he founded in Finnmark, and the paper soon began publishing news articles and letters from readers alongside its religious content. The reporters and correspondents balanced the publisher's desire for religious content with readers' desire to receive news in their native language.
