The book documents the history of the legendary Sámi artist collective Mázejoavku (1978–1983), and deals with the importance of the group historically and also in relation to other Sámi artists and Indigenous collectives and practitioners globally today.
The Sámi Artist Group was the first generation of young Sámi artists to regain pride in their Sámi heritage, to express their Sáminess freely, and to reclaim a renewed space within Sápmi by advocating and negotiating Sámi thinking and being through the arts.

In addition it includes a rich selection of archival photographic material, as well as texts by Yorta Yorta curator and writer Kimberley Moulton, Spanish/British art historian Katya García-Antón and Sámi scholar and duojár Liisa-Rávná Finbog.
