This place has been a crossroads and marketplace for the reindeer herders, the Sami, and fur traders from the south for more than 400 years. Historically, few tourists have visited Jukkasjärvi throughout its long, dark, cold and snowy winters. However, in 1989, the Glass Igloo Stay ICEHOTEL was created for the first time and it turned the seasons on their head, making in Finland the northern winter the peak tourist season.

(average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. New! Under the Midnight Sun: Sami Lapland, Norway & the Arctic Circle itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: There was something intangibly magical about Lapland. Maybe it was the midnight sun, the endless rugged tundra, or the welcoming nature of the Sami people. All I know is that there was a true sense of Arctic magic everywhere I went, especially when I met an indigenous Sami family on their reindeer farm. As we explored the farm, they introduced me to their way of life and traditions dating back thousands of years. I was saddened to hear that their ancient culture is under threat from two forces: the construction of an Arctic Railway through Sami territory and Sami youth deviating from their traditional lifestyle. You’ll hear about these challenges as well when you meet with a Sami family on their reindeer farm. In the regions I travel to around the world, the stories of the people who live and work there are the most distinct and poignant experiences. You’ll meet with a local educator in Oslo to hear about July 22, 2011—the harrowing terrorist attack on this city—and their personal account of this day.

  • Tourism Labor Market Impacts of National Parks 115 Zeitschrift Für Wirtschaftsgeographie Jg
    Joakim Byström / Dieter K. Müller: Tourism labor market impacts of national parks 115 Zeitschrift für Wirtschaftsgeographie Jg. 58 (2014) Heft 2-3, S. 115–126 Joakim Byström / Dieter K. Müller, Umeå/Sweden Tourism labor market impacts of national parks The case of Swedish Lapland Joakim Byström / Dieter K. Müller: Tourism labor market impacts of national parks Abstract: In a Nordic context, economic impacts of tourism in national parks remained largely un- known due to lacking implementation of standardized comparative measurements. For this reason, we want to investigate the economic impacts of national parks in a peripheral Scandinavian context by analyzing employment in tourism. Theoretically, the paper addresses the idea of nature protection as a tool for regional development. The scientific literature suggests that nature can be considered a commodity that can be used for the production of tourism experiences in peripheries. In this context nature protection is applied as a label for signifying attractive places for tourists leading to increased tourist numbers and employment. This argument follows mainly North American experiences point- ing at a positive impact of protected areas on regional development. Meanwhile European studies are more skeptical regarding desired economic benefits. A major challenge is the assessment of tourism’s economic impacts. This paper suggests an approach that reveals the impacts on the labor market. This is particularly applicable since data is readily available and, moreover from a public perspective, employment and tax incomes are of uppermost importance in order to sustain population figures and local demand for public services. At the same time accessibility and low visitor numbers form major challenges for tourism stakeholders and complicate the assessment of economic impacts through questionnaires and interviews.

  • The Road in the Park
    The Road in the Park Ideology and State power during the 20th century seen through Maps of the Swedish subarctic Abisko Master program (2 year) in historical studies Master of Arts thesis, 30 credits Autumn term 2013 Peter Bennesved Supervisor: Finn Arne Jørgensen Vägen i parken Ideologi och statlig makt under 1900-talet studerad genom kartor över Abisko av Peter Bennesved Abstract Uppsatsens syfte är att försöka hur kartor fungerar som en länk mellan politisk diskurs och det fysiska landskapet. Detta görs genom att studera tre kartor som avbildar samma område men vid olika tidpunkter och med olika motiv. Kartorna studeras genom en operationalisering av den franske sociologen Bruno Latour’s teori om ’immutable mobiles’. Uppsatsen visar att den statliga kartografiska verksamheten under 1900-talet i Sverige producerade immutable mobiles som sedan kunde avläsas av aktörer och som i sin tur kunde använda dem för att understödja deras politiska och vetenskapliga argument. En tillsynes trivial poäng. Problemet är dock avståndet i mellan den centraliserade makten och platsen som i detta fallet är ca 1400 kilometer. Kartorna möjliggör alltså en maktrelation trots det stora avståndet. Allt eftersom de statligt ägda kartorna var hämtade, tolkades de av aktörernas ideologiska perspektiv. Dessa tolkningar låg sedan till grund för politiska beslut som sedan resulterade i faktiska ingrepp i landskapet. Formerandet av Abisko nationalpark används i uppsatsen som ett exempel på hur denna process fungerar. Parken skapades med ett specifikt set av ideologiska motiv. De politiska aktörerna använde statliga kartor för att utforma sin proposition. Formerandet av parken är således en manifestation av både statlig närvaro, statlig kontroll över landskapet och ett ideologiskt artefakt.

Utgiven i Göteborg 2011 av författaren. Arbetet kan beställas från: Erik Kuoksu: [email protected] Lulu.com (USA) För information om övriga arbeten av Erik Kuoksu se hemsidan: hem.passagen.se/kuoksu I enlighet med lagen om upphovsrätt förbjudes kopiering och eftertryck av detta arbete utan författarens medgivande. S L Ä K T E N K U O K S U ERIK JOHANSSON KUOKSU d GÖTEBORG 2011 INLEDNING I år är det tvåhundra år sedan Lars Larsson Mukka – Kuoksu, som är stamfar för Kuoksu‐ släkten, dog. På grund av detta ger jag nu ut denna skrift, som dels kommer att finnas tillgänglig som PDF‐fil på Internet, dels kommer att ges ut som bok. Lars Larsson Mukka var född i Junosuando 1727 och tillhörde släkten Mukka – en släkt som i sin tur är en gren av den sedan 1539 kända birkarlssläkten Pello i Pello, Övertorneå socken. Lars blev åbo på nybygget Kuoksu 1765 – ett nybygge som grundats på 1690‐talet av hans hustru Lisa Olofsdotters farfar, men som 1736 tagits över av Kengis bruk. Senast på 1780‐talet började Lars Larsson Mukka kalla sig Lars Larsson Kuoksu, eftersom det i Tornedalen vid den här tiden var sed att uppta boplatsens namn som sitt eget. Genom ett flitigt uppodlingsarbete lade han grunden till en stor förmögenhet, som skingrades först under mellankrigstidens ekonomiska kriser. Lars Larsson Kuoksus sonsöner Olof och Lars Larssöner Kuoksu köpte Kuoksu nybygge av Kengis bruk den 22 februari 1821 och deras ättlingar och efterträdare äger fortfarande delar av det gamla nybygget.

  • Food in Rural Northern Norway in Relation to Sami Ethnicity: the SAMINOR 2 Clinical Survey
    Public Health Nutrition: 21(14), 2665–2677 doi:10.1017/S1368980018001374 Food in rural northern Norway in relation to Sami ethnicity: the SAMINOR 2 Clinical Survey Natalia Petrenya1,*, Guri Skeie1, Marita Melhus2 and Magritt Brustad1 1Department of Community Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Postboks 6050 Langnes 9037, Tromsø, Norway: 2Centre for Sami Health Research, Department of Community Medicine, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø, Norway Submitted 2 January 2018: Final revision received 25 March 2018: Accepted 24 April 2018: First published online 29 May 2018 Abstract Objective: To estimate current food intake in the population of northern Norway and to investigate the impact of self-perceived Sami ethnicity and region of residence on food intake. Design: The data are part of the second cross-sectional survey of the Population- based Study on Health and Living Conditions in Regions with Sami and Norwegian Populations (the SAMINOR 2 Clinical Survey, 2012–2014). Food intake was assessed by an FFQ. Ethnic and regional differences in food intake were studied by sex-specific, multivariable-adjusted quantile regression models. Setting: Ten municipalities (rural northern Norway). Subjects: Males (n 2054) and females (n 2450) aged 40–69 years (2743 non-Sami, 622 multi-ethnic Sami, 1139 Sami). Results: The diet of Sami participants contained more reindeer meat, moose meat, food made with animal blood and freshwater fish; and contained less lean fish and vegetables. In the inland region, the consumption of reindeer meat was greatest in Sami participants, followed by multi-ethnic Sami participants and non-Sami participants, who had the lowest consumption (median 25, 12 and 8 g/d, respectively).
