Goahti

A goahti (Norwegian: gamme, Finnish: kota, Swedish: kåta) is a Sami hut or tent of three types of covering: fabric, peat moss or timber. The fabric covered goahti looks very similar to a Sami lavvu, but often constructed slightly larger. In its tent version the goahti is also called a 'curved pole' lavvu, or a 'bread box' lavvu as the shape is more elongated while the lavvu is in a circular shape.
