The Swedish author Astrid Lindgren created it for her 1981 children’s book “Ronja Rövardotter” (English title: ‘Ronia, the Robber’s daughter’). Another theory is that Astrid Lindgren got the idea for the name from a Laplander’s hut named Anironiarekåtan, from the Swedish “kåta,” meaning “hut.” A 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.
