Árran is the
Lule Sámi Center in the village of
Drag in the municipality of
Tysfjord in
Nordland county,
Norway. The center was established in 1994 to foster and promote the
Lule Sámi language and
culture. It does this by arranging on-site and video conference courses in Lule Sámi, publishing books, and doing research. The center has a museum, a souvenir shop, and a Lule Sámi day-care center on its premises. One of the major projects that it was involved with was the Lule Sámi on-line course
Sámasta]and soon it will be publishing a Norwegian-Lule Sámi dictionary.
