The goal of the project is to increase understanding for the situation of people with disabilities and Sami background. The Norwegian Directorate for Children, Youth and Family Affairs (Bufdir) has previously made public that there is little scientific research-based knowledge in this area.

 The project has aimed to answer three questions: 1)- How do people with disabilities and Sami background experience their daily lives? 2)- How do people with disabilities and Sami background experience important transitions in their lives? 3)- How do people with disabilities and Sami background participate in the democratic processes?
