114 Collecting Sápmi

Early modern collecting of Sámi material culture

Jonas M. Nordin & Carl-Gösta Ojala

Abstract: This paper presents the research project Collecting Sápmi. Early modern globalization of Sámi material culture and Sámi cultural heritage today, financed by the Swedish Research Council 2014–18. The aim of the project is to examine early modern collecting of Sámi material culture and early descriptions of Sámi culture, primarily in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. We aim to study early modern networks of scholars and collectors interested in Sámi material culture, to investigate how and why the collecting was conducted, and to follow the movement of Sámi objects between collections and collectors around Europe. Furthermore, the project aims to discuss the importance of early modern collecting and the collected objects in today’s society. Here, critical issues are raised concerning colonial histories and relations in Sápmi, motivations and ideologies of collecting over time, as well as the rights to Sámi cultural heritage and its management today and in the future.

Keywords: Sámi, Sápmi, colonialism, collecting, globalization, identity, cultural heritage, early modern period, cultural rights, repatriation.

In order to further investigate these issues and Early modern collecting and the to examine the early modern colonial gaze on colonial gaze the Sámi, one important starting point is to recognize that the early modern world in many Danish and Swedish colonial expansion in the ways was globalized and that the collecting seventeenth century can be viewed as local of Sámi material culture should be studied versions of the larger contemporary European in relation to the incorporation of other colonial expansion, with obvious similarities indigenous material cultures into a Eurocentric and connections as well as dissimilarities and worldview. The Sámi material culture spread local features (cf.

This imaginative space was of Sámi ceremonial drums and sacred objects not entirely fixed but flexible, movable and such as sieidi-stones along with other Sámi changeable.

Many of the Sámi he met were students at Uppsala University (Rydving Johannes Schefferus’ Lapponia and 2010). Also, he would probably have met Sámi its materiality at markets in the towns, such as the annual The first researcher to conduct more thorough market of Distingen in Uppsala (Löw 1956:16). research on the Sámi and Sápmi was the professor Furthermore, the Sámi population was much in political science at Uppsala University, more widely spread in central Sweden during Johannes Schefferus (1621–79).

In the third work package, we will attempt five interrelated empirical work packages, to follow the movement of early modern Sámi which will be briefly described below. objects, from their areas of origin, and between collections and collectors around Europe.

What happened with period (i.e. until the end of the eighteenth the objects? Why were collectors interested in century) in museum and private collections in Sámi material culture? What did people do with Scandinavia and Europe. This work package is the objects, and what did the objects do with based on previously conducted surveys, such people? Furthermore, the role of the objects in as Ernst Manker’s pivotal work on the Sámi the construction of early modern notions of ceremonial drums (1938, 1950, cf. also Kroik Sáminess will be discussed.

What was the role of the Sámi in early modern literature of the British Isles and how was it related to the ongoing colonial expansion of the British and other European powers?

5. The aim of the fifth and final work package is to study the importance of the early modern collecting and the early modern Sámi objects today. In this part of the project, we aim to follow these objects, as well as early modern depictions and descriptions of Sámi material culture, in debates on cultural heritage and history today. One central issue deals with the debates on Sámi self-determination concerning cultural heritage issues, including demands for repatriation of Sámi cultural heritage (in this case, more specifically concerning the early modern objects, such as the Sámi drums; see further Vem äger kulturarvet… 2002, Harlin 2008, Mulk 2009). We will also discuss the globalization of Sámi cultural heritage today, and the importance of the international indigenous peoples’ movement in these debates. Fig. 2.
