In connection with a hydropower expansion in the Ume River in the 1960s, Sami graves were moved.

The jawbones ended up first at the School of Dentistry in Umeå and then at the Västerbotten Museum.

The idea has long been that the jawbones should be reburied in Tärnaby.

Now it has become a reality, more than 50 years after they were separated from the rest of the body.

- It is very good that it is happening because it is a long time since we decided with the Museum that this would be done, says Sigrid Stångberg, chairman of the Sami association Vadtejen saemiej sijte.
