Editing Tromsø (section)

===Sami population===
As noted in the history section, the Tromsø area has long been home to Sámi culture. The assimilation of the Coastal Sámi, however, led to the local Sámi culture becoming increasingly invisible in the Tromsø area during the 20th century. Today there is a Sami kindergarten and Sami language classes in certain schools of Tromsø. There have been attempts at countering the decline of the Sámi language through the establishment of a [[Sami language]] centre in [[Lakselvbukt]] in the [[Ullsfjorden]] area.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About the centre |url=https://lohkanguovddas.no/en/about-centre |access-date=2023-07-16 |archive-date=16 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230716185300/https://lohkanguovddas.no/en/about-centre |url-status=live }}</ref> Tromsø Municipality has generally displayed a positive attitude to the indigenous minority culture.
