Iver Jåks was a Norwegian Sámi artist, sculptor and illustrator. He contributed to the development and international recognition of Sámi art. Known for incorporating elements of Sámi culture and mythology in his work, Jåks achieved prominence through his distinctive artistic approach that bridged traditional Sámi craftsmanship with contemporary artistic expressions. Throughout his career, he played a pivotal role in museum contexts, helping to shape exhibitions of Sámi culture and developing what scholars have described as a form of "visual sovereignty" for Sámi perspectives. His artistic contributions earned him numerous accolades, including the Arts Council Norway Honorary Award, the Norwegian Sámi Association's honorary prize, and knighthood in the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 2002. Jåks's work is represented in major collections, including the National Gallery of Norway and the Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum.
