Árja ("Commitment" in northern Sami) is a Norwegian Sami political party. The party was founded on 24 May 2008 in Jergul, and its leader is Láilá Susanne Vars. The ideology of the party is claimed to be based on respect for the elderly in society and traditionally based education. Otherwise, the party wants a more open and available Sami Parliament, criticises the Sami Parliament for neglecting traditionally Sami values and society, and thus wants to strengthen the rights for the rural and coastal population.
