This Luokti was built on the museum site in 1984 by Nils Turi and Thorolf Bj\u00f8rnback. It is a reconstruction of semi-open storage buildings typical for S\u00e1mis along the River Tana valley (Deatnu in S\u00e1mi).<\/p>\n

This storehouse from Bieskkenj\u00e1rga was owned by Berit Ellen Balto (1916\u20131989). She was born and raised in Bieskkenj\u00e1rga and owned a farm there. She was a famous joiker. Bieskkenj\u00e1rga is about 20 km from Karasjok up the river Karasjok.<\/p>\n

Between 1978\u20131979 the storehouse was moved from Bieskkenj\u00e1rga to Karasjok by craftsmen Jon Ole Andersen and Nils Turi. The storehouse is now part of the open air museum. In 1979 Andersen and Turi built a new door for the storehouse and repaired its roof. The roof is covered with sods on top of several layers of birch bark. Birch bark is eminently suitable as a roof covering because it is strong, water-resistant and soil-resistant, enough to last for generations. In 2014 museum technician Bror Ivar Salamonsen replaced the old birch bark and sod roofing.<\/p>\n
