The research study is focused on the development of a teaching which emerges from the Sámi culture. Sámi schools in Sweden follow the national regulations, but the Sámi pupils also have to be confident in the Sámi cultural inheritance and they have to be able to speak, read and write in Sámi. The purpose of the research study is to highlight some problems and possibilities connected to the development of an education in the Sámi Schools which act from the conditions of the Sámi culture, especially focus is on the education in mathematics. The study highlights perspectives from the point of teachers, pupils, parents, grandparents and elders. The involvement of parents, grandparents, elders and the local community is an important issue to be able to develop a Sámi education. A research question is; how parents, grandparents, the extended family, elders and the local society can be involved in development of a culturally based school curriculum? The study takes its start from point of view of my earlier licentiate essay, which described the mathematical thoughts within in the Sámi culture. An interactive study with an ethnographic approach is the methodological point of departure. Interviews and school visits are used.
