What if the Norwegian lemming doesn’t feel Norwegian at all? Did anyone ever ask them?

Gapta - The South Saami traditional dress

Men:

Budtestahke - the welted edge around the v-neck of a gapta.

Gåahke - the collar is most often red and always stiff. 

Boengeskuvmie - a piece of clothing worn around the neck, embroidered with pewter wires.

Beelte - a belt, embroidered with pewter wires or beads, depending on your age.

Voedtegh - handwoven shoelaces.

Tjohpe - a traditional hat worn by men and women alike; men wear blue or black tjohpeh, whereas women wear red ones

Women: 

A woman's gapta is identical to a male's gapta, bar the lack of a gåahke, the addition of laesta, decorative edgings added to the dress and the fact that it's longer than a man's gapta.

Traditional clothes

I am thinking of making my own gapta, beehlte and boenge-skuvmie this year. I am not the best at sewing things and I really don't want to mess up the amount of broadcloth that I'd need for these things, but at the same time I would like to actually own a gapta. I have a kilt, but really nothing that, as far as clothes go, show off my Saami heritage and as much as the gapta has become a rarely worn thing outside of weddings, confirmations and so on, I am of the opinion that we should be able to wear traditional clothes without being thought of as stereotypical versions of our culture. I hate the fact that traditional clothes nowadays seem to strip the wearer of an identity in order to make him or her a representation of a stereotype.

It's a sad world we're living in when wearing traditional clothes in a non-traditional or ceremonial setting is seen as something odd and unnatural or, worse, when wearing traditional clothes is seen as something that functions as some kind of ‘cultural passport’, where those who don't wear traditional clothes are seen as inauthentic representatives of a specific culture by non-members of said culture.

Think white hipsters telling Native Americans in a pair of jeans that they're not Native because they're not naked and adorned with feathers.
