What does the Giellajohka logo represent?
The Giellajohka logo features a part of a traditional Sámi lasso pole called a giela (in Sámi) or kiella (in Finnish). The lasso pole, known as suopunki, is a long rope used to catch reindeer. Traditionally, the giela was made from reindeer bone, but nowadays it is typically plastic. The river flowing past Giellajohka is called Kielajoki in Finnish, and in Sámi, it's Giellajohka.
