A
goahti (also
gábma,
gåhte,
gåhtie and
gåetie,
Norwegian:
gamme,
Finnish:
kota,
Swedish:
kåta), is a
Sami hut or
tent of three types of covering: fabric, peat moss or timber. The fabric-covered goahti looks very similar to a Sami
lavvu, but often constructed slightly larger. In its tent version the goahti is also called a 'curved pole' lavvu, or a 'bread box' lavvu as the shape is more elongated while the lavvu is in a circular shape.
