    2019 ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE PAG. 39–44 PHILOLOGICA 3 / GERMANISTICA PRAGENSIA SAMI TEXTS FROM KEMI SÁPMI RECORDED BY JENNY AND SAMULI PAULAHARJU MICHAL KOVÁŘ ABSTRACT Among the folklore texts collected by Jenny and Samuli Paulaharju in the 1920s and 1930s there are a few Sami texts from the area of Kittilä and Sodankylä. The texts are partly macaronic Finnish-Sami, only one or two might be considered authentic Sami. However, due to their small extent it is questionable whether it can be regarded as Kemi Sami, the language that has been believed to disappear about 200 years ago. Keywords: Kemi Sami; Jenny Paulaharju; Samuli Paulaharju; Sami folklore According to their grammatical and lexical features, the Sami languages are divided into two groups – the Western and the Eastern. Three Sami languages are nowadays spo- ken in Finland: North Sami, belonging to the Western group, Skolt Sami, and the endem- ic Sami language of Finland, Inari Sami, both belonging to the Eastern group. Another, namely the Kemi Sami language, belonging to the same group and nowadays extinct, used to be spoken in the territory of Finland between the Kittilä and Kuusamo localities. There is not much data available about Kemi Sami. The most significant represen- tatives are the authentic Sami songs written down by the Sami clergyman Olaus Sirma in the early 1670s.1 Sirma’s translation of Johannes Gezelius’s Catechism from Finnish (probably from 1716)2 and a short glossary compiled by Jacob Fellman during the 1820s3 show the differences between dialects from Nuortti/Nuortijärvi (Skolt Sami), Imandra (Skolt Sami), Kuolajärvi (Kemi Sami), Sompio (Kemi Sami), Inari (Inari Sami), Enon- tekiö (North Sami) and Utsjoki (North Sami), as well as the dialect continuum between Kemi Sami and the bordering Sami languages (Skolt, Inari, and perhaps North Sami as well).

    Utsjoki: an Example of Implementing ICT in School Environment in Lapland Annikki LAUERMA University of Oulu Utsjoki-FINLAND

    Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education- TOJDE January 2000 ISSN 1302-6488 Volume: 1 Number: 1 Article No: 5 Utsjoki: An Example of Implementing ICT in School Environment in Lapland Annikki LAUERMA University of Oulu Utsjoki-FINLAND INTRODUCTION As to information and communication techology, Finland is in the front row in international comparison. The Finnish Parliament and the Ministry of Education emphasize lifelong learning and information society. Universities and institutions develop newlearning environments and a wide range of learning opportunities is available in our country. Schools are encouraged to exploit information and technology to the full. Within Finland Utsjoki is an Ultima Thule. It is the northernmost municipality on thetop of Finland and the whole EU. In the beginning of 1990s we had the opportunity of experimenting modern technology in education as a result of innovative experiments and projects which initiated first in the field of space physics and the study of atmosphere and later especially in observation of the northern ozone layer. We were lucky to be able to participate in the activities of association EURISY (The European Space Year) which offered our pupils challenging activities and international contacts including annual meetings abroad. Simultaneously information technology took long leaps and we could sense how the world shrinked: one of our very first international videoconferences was between Utsjoki and Noordwijk in the Netherlands where two students represented our school. We took part in the Forum by videoconferencing in Utsjoki, we could state questions to the speakers and interview our students there. All this gave us great expectations: ICT meant new opportunities, a way out to the world.

In order to examine just how well the right to use one’s own language actually manifests in Finnish society, I examined the developments of language related rights internationally and in Europe and how those developments manifested in Finland. I also went over Finland’s linguistic history, seeing the developments that have lead us to today when Finland has three separate language act to deal with three different language situations. I analyzed the relevant legislations and by examining the latest language barometer studies, I wanted to find out what the real situation of these language and their identities are. I was also interested in the overall linguistic situation in Finland, which is affected by rising xenophobia and the issues surrounding the ILO 169.

In the Nordic countries birch and other of our common wood species were used for this, yet, in the old account books one can also find remarks on the imports of wood during the 15th and 16th centuries, possibly for the material of the artworks, for the most part possibly mainly for the chairs and chests in the castles as well as bishops’ seats and choir screens, e.g. for the needs of the churches.1 This short outline of the wood use in medieval ecclesiastical sculpture and church furnishing is included in Emil Nervander’s (1840–1914) essay on church art in Finland, published in a series of Kansanvalistusseuran toimituksia (1887), a journal aimed for the education of the public. In addition to being a writer, Nervander was the planner, and on some occasions also the leader of art historical DOI: https://doi.org/10.12697/BJAH.2019.18.02 1 Emil Nervander, Kirkollisesta taiteesta Suomessa keskiaikana.
