Karasjokⓘ (Norwegian) or Kárášjohka (Northern Sami; [ˈkʰaːraːʃˌjohka])[5][6] (also: Kven: Kaarasjoki) is a municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Karasjok. Other villages include Dorvonjárga, Šuoššjávri, and Váljohka.

The 5,453-square-kilometre (2,105 sq mi) municipality is the second largest by area out of the 357 municipalities in Norway. Karasjok is the 250th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 2,565. The municipality's population density is 0.5 inhabitants per square kilometre (1.3/sq mi) and its population has decreased by 4.9% over the previous 10-year period.[7][8]

A survey conducted on behalf of the Sami Language Council in the year 2000 showed that 94 percent of the population are Sami speakers.[9]

General information

[edit]

The municipality of Karasjok was established on 1 January 1866 when it was separated from the old Kistrand Municipality. Initially, the population of Karasjok was 515. The municipal borders have not changed since that time.[10]

On 1 January 2020, the municipality became part of the newly formed Troms og Finnmark county. Previously, it had been part of the old Finnmark county.[11] On 1 January 2024, the Troms og Finnmark county was divided and the municipality once again became part of Finnmark county.[12]

Name

[edit]

The municipal name Karasjok is a Norwegianized form of the Northern Sami language name Kárášjohka. The meaning of the first element is uncertain. It could be káráš which is the Northern Sami word for a wooden food platter, or from the Finnish word, kara, which means "something that sticks". The last element is johka which means "river",[13] whose equivalent in Finnish is joki.

The official name of the municipality was Karasjok until 1990 when it was changed to the bilingual Kárášjohka-Karasjok.[14] It was the third municipality in Norway to get a Sami language name. In 2005, the name was again changed, such that either Kárášjohka or Karasjok can be used interchangeably.[15] The spelling of the Sami language name changes depending on how it is used. It is called Kárášjohka when it is spelled alone, but it is Kárašjoga gielda when using the Sami language equivalent to "Karasjok Municipality".[5]

Coat of arms

[edit]

The coat of arms was granted on 27 June 1986. The official blazon is "Gules, three five-tongued flames Or two and one" (Norwegian: I rødt tre femtungede gule flamer, 2-1). This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is three five-tongued flames with two above one. The flames have a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The red color and flame designs were chosen as a symbol for the importance of fire to the local (nomadic) Sami people. The fire brings both heat and thus survival during the harsh winters, but it is also a major threat, both in the tents as well as in the large pine forests. The fire is also the point around which people gather and it is a guard against dangers. The flag contains three flames also because Kárásjoga-Karasjok is a place where three peoples live: the Sami, Norwegians, and Kvens.[16][17][18]

History

[edit]

In 2015 the second edition of Sápmi Pride, was held in Karasjok.[19]

Geography

[edit]
Entering Karasjok

The municipality is situated along the upper river basin of the Deatnu / Tana river and its tributaries: Anárjohka and Kárášjohka. It includes large tracts of the high Finnmarksvidda plateau. Lakes in the region include Čorotjávri, Gásadatjávri, Iešjávri, and Idjajávri. The river valley, unlike the plateau, is covered with pine and birch forests. The southern part of the municipality is part of the Anárjohka National Park. The highest point in the municipality is the 1,024-metre (3,360 ft) tall mountain Vuorji.[1]

Climate

[edit]

Karasjok has a typical subarctic climate with cold, long and dry winters, and short summers that can see warm periods. In this far northeastern part of Norway, the climate is much more continental and dry compared to the typical coastal climate in Norway.

Situated in a river valley on this plateau, Karasjok has recorded the coldest official temperature ever in Norway: −51.4 °C (−60.5 °F) on 1 January 1886. The warmest temperature ever recorded is 32.4 °C (90.3 °F) recorded July 1914 at an earlier weather station.[40] The warmest month on record was July 2014 with mean 18.4 °C (65.1 °F) and average daily high 24.8 °C (76.6 °F). The coldest month on record was February 1966 with a mean of −27.1 °C (−16.8 °F). The coldest month in more recent decades is February 2007 with mean −20.9 °C (−5.6 °F) and average daily low −26.9 °C (−16.4 °F).

Wildlife

[edit]

The birdlife to be found in this municipality is characteristic for the region. The inland habitats of Finnmarksvidda are known for their rich bird life with species like Bluethroat preferring areas with scrub. The Tana river also flows through Karasjok and many of the species found in higher areas use it as a migration route.

In late 2022, there were estimated to be 16 bears are in the municipality.[42][43][44]

Economy

[edit]
Inside the Samediggi (the Sami parliament)

Most people live in the village of Karasjok (Kárášjohka). The village is the seat of the Sámediggi, the Sami Parliament of Norway, as well as of the Sami broadcasting, and several Sami institutions (public and private) are found here, including Davvi Girji, the largest Sámi publisher. About 80% of the population is Sami speaking, and Sami and Norwegian have equal status in the municipality.

Tourism

[edit]

The attractions include the Sami parliament, Samediggi, the Sami museum, and the Old Karasjok Church, dating from 1807. The Sami parliament was opened in 1989, by King Olav V, the first Sami parliament president was Ole Henrik Magga, from the neighboring Kautokeino Municipality. He was the president for more than eight years. The Old Karasjok Church is the oldest Lutheran church in Finnmark county. The church is today too small, so a new, larger, wooden Karasjok Church, inspired by Sami architecture, has been built. Karasjok is also the place to look for duodji, Sami handicraft.
