In 2017, as the first representative from the Flyttsamelista, she became a member of the Sámi Parliament of Norway. This happened after the Sami election, when the four parties of the Norwegian Sámi Association, the Center Party, Åarjel-Saemiej Gielh, and the Flyttsamelista joined forces to create a 'majority government'. According to the agreement, Eira is in the council for the first two years of the parliamentary term, and Ellinor Jåma of Åarjel-Saemiej Gielh for the last two.
