TekstiTämä on erikoisominaisuus. <P align="justify"> The <i>gie<P align="justify"> The <i>gietkka</i> is a piece of handicraft [[Integral Education|Duodji]] used and adapted for people on the move. Its basic material is Scots pine, aspen or spruce. It is not common to use birch for cradle making, but birch cradles can also be found in areas where there are lots of birches big enough for this purpose. The <i>gietkka</i> was already known in the time of Tacitus (98AD), who wrote about people living in the northern areas that put their children into skin cradles. Scholars like [[Schefferus, Johannes|Scheffeus]] (17<sup>th</sup> century), Leem (18<sup>th</sup> century), Drake (19<sup>th</sup> century), Itkonen (20<sup>th</sup> century) and others have written about <i>gietkka</i>. The cradles have different shapes. Two sizes of cradle have existed: one for the newly born and one for the older baby. When one is to determine the origin of a <i>gietkka</i> one must look at the shape and the way it is decorated. The Eastern Saami <i>gietkka</i> is shallow, the northeast cradle shape is evenly curved and from Guovdageaidnu/Kautokeino and westwards the tip of the gietkka is turned up. The Julev Saami cradle shape is more pointed and the tip of the South Saami <i>gietkka</i> is even more pointed. The way of decorating is linked to economic means and the way of decorating the Saami costumes. The woven ribbons tell if child is a girl or a boy and from which area the cradle belongs. <i>Šielat</i>/Amulets of silver are often fastened to the <i>gietkka</i> and they serve as protection, preventing the child from being exchanged with another child belonging to the people of the "underworld". People still make cradles today, but the <i>gietkka</i> is not used as much as before. Today specialising within handicraft makes it possible to order your <i>gietkka</i> from the cradle maker.<BR><BR> About the etymology of the word [[Gietkka (Saami craddle)|<i>gietkka</i>]].
