 According to Anders Larsen the game was also played by coastal Sámi further south, in Nordland county.Hence, sáhkku has at least during the last two centuries mainly been played in the core area of the Coast Sámi culture.The game is, however, also known to have been played in northern parts of Finnish Lapland, more precisely Ohcejohka and Aanar, and among the Skolt Sámi of contemporary Norway, Finland and Russia.
