former municipality in Nordland, Norway
via Wikipedia infobox
Tysfjord (Norwegian) or Divtasvuodna (Lule Sami) is a former municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The municipality existed from 1869 until its dissolution in 2020. The area is now part of Narvik Municipality and Hamarøy Municipality in the traditional district of Ofoten. Its administrative centre was the village of Kjøpsvik. Other villages in Tysfjord included Drag, Hundholmen, Korsnes, Musken, Rørvika, Skarberget, and Storå.
There is a very large population of Lule Sami people in the area, and the Árran Lule Sami Center is in the village of Drag. With the Norwegian language and Lule Sami language both as official languages of the municipality, Tysfjord was the only municipality in Norway where speakers of Lule Sami should theoretically have been able to speak that language with officials, although this did not come completely to fruition.
