Lapin taivaan tarinat on kirja ja pelikortit saamen tähtitaivaasta ja ilmiöistä.
Suuren hirven metsästys on saamelaisen tähtitaivaan päätapahtuma. Tämän kirjan ja korttien avulla haluamme kertoa tästä tähtikuviosta, koska se on aivan erilainen kuin ympäröivien kansojen kertomukset.
Kirjassa on neljä kieltä, joten sekä saamenkieliset että muut saavat tutustua saamen taivaan tarinoihin ja viihtyä pelaten korttipeliä. Ehkä jonain iltana katsahdat taivaalle ja etsit suurta hirvenmetsästystä tähtitaivaalla.

Saami Tales of the Night sky consists of a booklet and a set of playing-cards about the night sky and its various phenomena. The main story dealt with by the booklet is that of the great moose hunt, and our aim, both with the booklet as well as with the playing-cards, is to bring this particular view of the night sky to a wider audience, as it is a completely different view to that of our neighbouring peoples.
The booklet contains information and tales about the Saami night sky, and with the help of the playing-cards, you will be able to learn the names of stars and of other astronomical phenomena in Saami.
The booklet is in four languages, so that both Saami speakers as well as others can get to know the Saami night sky and the world view it portrays, while at the same time having fun with the card game.
Then perhaps one day, on a clear winter’s evening you’ll look up at the night sky and catch a glimpse of the great heavenly moose hunt.
