context_page_description: A goahti, goahte, gåhte, gåhtie or gåetie. Norwegian: gamme, Finnish: kota, Swedish: kåta, is a Sami hut or tent of three types of covering: fabric, peat moss or timber. The fabric-covered goahti looks very similar to a Sami lavvu, but often constructed slightly larger. In its tent version the goahti is also called a 'curved pole' lavvu, or a 'bread box' lavvu as the shape is more elongated while the lavvu is in a circular shape.
