This study deals with Karin Stenberg's importance for Lappstaden in Arvidsjaur and how this has affected the identity of the Sami. The theoretical focus is on ethnicity and the method used is semi-structured interviews. Without Stenberg's battle for Lappstaden, the Sami identity would have been weakened in Arvidsjaur. Lappstaden is an important cultural carrier both for the Sami in groups and individually and as a natural hub for the Sami. Storstämningshelgen, a weekend for Sami people to meet, that takes place in Lappstaden every year is important for tradition, identity, and the Sami affiliation.
