Delt av gull og svart ved tredobbelt tindesnitt med to tinder.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on July 22, 1988.

The arms represent the Finnkirka ("the Finn Church"), a cliff by the sea in the municipality. This cliff formation has the appearance of a church, and in former times was used by Sami people as a place of sacrifice.
