I fält av silver tre till ett gaffelkors sammanställda blå blixtar, åtföljda ovan av en röd nyckel och på vardera sidan av en röd lapsk trumhammare.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1968 and confirmed in 1974.
The arms show three lightning bolts with a key and two hammers. The lightning bolts symbolise the hydro-electricity which is produced in the municipality. The key is taken from the arms of Luleå, to which the village belonged until 1673. The hammers are typical hammers of the Samen people (Lapps) and are symbols for culture and sources of income.
