A one-year program in duodji was transferred from the Finnmark Regional College to the Sámi allaskuvla/Sámi University of Applied Sciences (SUAS) in 1988, a year before SUAS was founded in Guovdageaidnu. Thus, duodji was the first training program to be established at SUAS. This article discusses how traditional duodji expertise and skills of the Sámi people served as the basis for the design of higher education in the field of duodji, and the technical steps taken by SUAS to adjust this program to the formal requirements for higher education. The method used here is a narrative approach with many dimensions, and central to the method are storytelling and the sharing of experiences. Here my own experiences are important, since I have been part of the process. The experiences and the lessons we learned when establishing and developing the curriculum in duodji have been elaborated through a model of samification and indigenization that I have worked out in collaboration with colleagues. By taking these steps, the Sámi University of Applied Sciences has both samified higher education and joined the global discourse of indigenous peoples in higher education and research. The article also discusses how traditional ways of conveying duodji skills and expertise can differ from academic ways of conveying knowledge, and the challenges this poses.
