We will chart the current situation of the endangered Sami languages in primary education in Nordic countries using the practice of co-creation and explore how linguistically responsive teaching should be applied to nurture the educational success of youth studying Sami. Drawing on vast publications, documents and indigenous ethnography, we will map out existing practices and lay the groundwork for innovations for indigenous language-based education. We will visit educational institutions, conduct interviews and collaborate with stakeholders who participate in practical educational measures. Through collaborative workshops, solutions and innovations will be created and tested. Our research will contribute to the existing literature by shedding new light on the practice of endangered language education and suggesting novel teaching methods. This study will present urgent solutions to endangered language teaching that are also applicable in the education of other marginalised groups
