Kåfjord (Norwegian), Gáivuotna [ˈkaːjːvuo̯tna] (Northern Sami), or Kaivuono (Kven)[5] is a municipality in Troms county, Norway.

Other notable villages include Løkvollen, Manndalen, Birtavarre, Trollvik, Samuelsberg, Nordmannvik, and Djupvik.

[10] On 1 January 2020, the municipality became part of the newly formed Troms og Finnmark county.

The official blazon is "Gules, a spinning wheel argent" (Norwegian: I rødt en sølv rokk).

The spinning wheel has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used.

It is also a unifying symbol for Kåfjord's population since many residents (at the time of the adoption of the arms) had had a spinning wheel in their homes while they were growing up.

In 1945, the villages of Kåfjord were burned to the ground during the retreat of German forces from Finland and Finnmark.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Kåfjord is made up of 17 representatives that are elected to four year terms.

The tables below show the current and historical composition of the council by political party.

Other villages include Birtavarre, Kåfjorddalen, Djupvik, Nordmannvik, and Manndalen, where the international indigenous peoples' festival Riddu Riđđu is hosted each year.

Due to assimilation pressure from the Norwegian State, the language was largely lost in the 20th century.

Efforts are being made to reintroduce the Northern Sami language which is largely concentrated in the municipality's largest village, Manndalen/Olmmáivággi.
