A study of Riddu Riđđu Festivála and its role as a cultural tool for ethnic revitalization Anastassia Valerievna Leonenko Thesis submitted for the degree: Master of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Tromsø Norway April 2008 To Alexandre Descomps and our baby II Acknowledgements This master thesis is a result of the contribution of different individuals and organisations. First, I am grateful to the University of Tromsø that opened my path to an international academic milieu by admitting me to the Indigenous Master Programme where I met my classmates from all over the world, Saami professors with personal experience in the indigenous self-determination movement, and other researchers on indigenous issues. Moreover, the Centre for Sámi Studies played an active role in my educational process, by organising seminars (at Skibotn) and conferences (the Forum for Development Cooperation with Indigenous Studies), trips to Finnmark (Karasjok, Kautokeino, Alta) and to Kåfjord (Manndalen) and finally, funding my research project. My gratitude goes as well to the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund (Lånekassen) and the Centre for Environment and Development (SEMUT) for their financial support that made this research possible. My greatest gratitude and thanks go to my supervisor Bjørn Bjerkli, Associate Professor at the Department of Social Anthropology at the Tromsø University, who devoted a great deal of his time reading and commenting on my work. Our discussions gave me an inspiration to develop this research further and to see new perspectives in indigenous culture in terms of traditions and modernity. Without his intellectual guidance and constructive comments at times that I got lost, the successful competition of this work would have been at stake. I am grateful to the organisers (Lene Hansen, Camilla Brattland, Tor Mikalsen), the artists (The Khoe Khollektif, Komi National Drama Theatre) and the participants of Riddu Riđđu Festivála, as well as to Indigenous Youth Camp who shared their ideas and thoughts with me during my fieldwork. Particular appreciation is send to Ol Johan Gaup and his family who introduced me to their way of life, enriched by Saami traditions. I am also grateful to my Saami friends and the Saami Students Union who were a part of my student’s and researcher’s life. All these experiences opened slightly the door into today’s Saami life and had a great impact on my research. I also forward my appreciation to my research colleagues, Andy Ruck and Tomas Hilder with whom I discovered Riddu Riđđu world, shared ideas, exchanged vulnerable information and research sources. I deeply appreciate my classmates Anna (Slovakia), Assebe and Gemechu (Ethiopia), Erick (Tanzania), Kalpana (Nepal), Kanako (Japan), Richard (Uganda), Salasini (Zambia), Synnøve and Tonje (Norway) as well as other MIS fellows who enlightened me about the different situations in their respective countries. My special heartfelt gratitude goes to my family – my mother Alla Vasilievna Leonenko, my father Valerij Denisovich Leonenko and my brother Ivan Valerievich Leonenko for their love, encouragement and moral support. My hearty thanks go to my boyfriend Alexandre Pierre Descopms whose love and care carried me through the process of writing and made my life beautiful. I am thankful to my friends with whom I met in Tromsø, especially Christiane Gräf, who stayed at home, and particularly Olessya Pavlova for sharing my happiness and frustration. Last but by no means the least, I would like to thank the International Students Union (ISU), the Norwegian Students Union (NSU) and the whole international students’ community at the University of Tromsø which surrounded me during my years of studies. Thanks to them my student’s life was full of discoveries, learning, great experience and, of course, fun! Anastassia Valerievna Leonenko Tromsø, April 2008 III Abstract The International Indigenous Riddu Riđđu Festivála has taken place every year since 1991 in Manndalen, a Coastal Saami hamlet, in the municipality of Kåfjord in the county of Troms in the North of Norway. The festival represents by itself an independent event that through indigenous management and developed ethno-relations inside the country, promoting the idea of cultural awareness and sensitivity to all ethnic groups, however different they might be, and support them in terms of preservation of their culture, language, and lifestyle in our global and developed world. This thesis is intended to show the ambiguity and complexity of the Coastal Saami identity in Manndalen, not only with relation to Norwegians, but also with reference to the situation among locals, between adults and youth, traditions and modernity. In other words, which relations between traditions and modernity does Riddu Riđđu demonstrate? Therefore this thesis will try to find out the relation of manndalinger to the cultural invention and show their chosen way of the invasion of traditions and how far they accept distortions as authentic to their heritage during the process of cultural invention and which sign-substitutions can be defined in relation to Coastal Saami culture today. Moreover, the purpose of this thesis is to understand the process by which means invented portions of culture acquire authenticity. In other words, how the social reproduction of culture – the process whereby people learn, embody, and transmit the conventional behaviours of their society (Hanson 1989:898) – is happening in the Coastal Saami community today. Therefore the Riddu Riđđu festival will be considered further as one of the examples of Coastal Saami cultural invention with the purpose of revitalization an ethnic identity. Thus, the Riddu Riđđu festival can be seen as a visible tool in Manndalen’s process of ethnic revitalisation. In this case, can the festival be considered as an example of an imagined community (Anderson 1983), created as a cultural arena for the Saami political debates and bringing Saami people, the young and the old generation, together? Further, the festival can be seen as an important tool in the process of Coastal Saami ethnic revitalisation with perspectives on northern indigenous and in general world community nowadays. What is the role of this imagined community for its participants? What challenges do manndalinger have in creating both a local and a global symbolic community? This master thesis is tended to bring up questions for further discussions and become one of the colourful pieces in the mosaic of understanding the Riddu Riđđu festival and its role in the revitalisation of Saami identity.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Indigenous History Month Week 2 Music & Musicians
    Indigenous History Month: Week 2: Music & Musicians Donna Wright, an Elder who works with many students in our school district, describes drumming and singing as a way of ‘opening the channel from our hearts to the Creator’. The teachings around the drum and singing are sacred to Indigenous Peoples. The teachings are different from nation to nation, but one thing that threads all the teachings together is that drumming and singing connects us all to the heartbeat of Mother Earth. Jesse tells of a teaching of a story of the first drum sound that we hear as humans is that of our mother when we are in the womb. That life-giving heartbeat is a drum beat. Everyone who is reading this has a heartbeat. We are all connected through that heartbeat of Mother Earth. When we hear drumming and singing from nation to nation, we can hear the land, the animals, the waters of where that nation is located on Turtle Island. When we hear drumming from the West Coast, we hear the waves. The high winds from the Prairies are heard in songs from Plains Peoples. Inuit drumming echoes across the tundra. The songs of Great Lakes peoples resound through the deep forests. The dance of the Metis people is a heartbeat of the land. Again, the cultural and spiritual expression of singing, drumming, and dance was something that was systemically and forcibly taken from Indigenous Peoples from sea to sea by Canadian Federal Government Policy and Law. Many ceremonies and dances went underground. Tribes had tactics that allowed them to hide their cultural practices from the Indian Agent and the RCMP and resist being arrested for practicing ceremony and dance.

  • THE BALI TEMPLE RUN Temples in Bali Share the Top Spot on the Must-Visit List with Its Beaches
    CULTURE THE BALI TEMPLE RUN Temples in Bali share the top spot on the must-visit list with its beaches. Take a look at some of these architectural marvels that dot the pretty Indonesian island. TEXT ANURAG MALLICK he sun was about to set across the cliffs of Uluwatu, the stony headland that gave the place its name. Our guide, Made, explained that ulu is ‘land’s end’ or ‘head’ in Balinese, while watu is ‘stone’. PerchedT on a rock at the southwest tip of the peninsula, Pura Luhur Uluwatu is a pura segara (sea temple) and one of the nine directional temples of Bali protecting the island. We gaped at the waves crashing 230 ft below, unaware that the real spectacle was about to unfold elsewhere. A short walk led us to an amphitheatre overlooking the dramatic seascape. In the middle, around a sacred lamp, fifty bare-chested performers sat in concentric rings, unperturbed by the hushed conversations of the packed audience. They sat in meditative repose, with cool sandalwood paste smeared on their temples and flowers tucked behind their ears. Sharp at six, chants of cak ke-cak stirred the evening air. For the next one hour, we sat open-mouthed in awe at Bali’s most fascinating temple ritual. Facing page: Pura Taman Saraswati is a beautiful water temple in the heart of Ubud.

  • Iver Jåks 1932 – 2007
    UNIVERSITETSBIBLIOTEKET I TROMSØ PRivatarkiv nr. 15 Iver Jåks 1932 – 2007 UiT Norges arktiske universitet Universitetsbiblioteket Huginbakken 14 9019 TROMSØ [email protected] Iver Jåks – kortfattet biografi Iver Jåks ble født den 25. oktober 1932 på vinterbeite. Foreldrene var reindriftsamer og alt lå til rette for at lille Iver skulle gå i farens fotspor. Men våren 1940, da Iver var knapt åtte år gammel, fikk han foten ødelagt i en ulykke under kjøring med rein. Han ble behandlet på kysthospitalet i Vadsø og kom etterpå til Norges Samemisjons vanførehjem Bjerkely i Tromsø. Under oppholdet der fikk han lært å lese og skrive. Samtidig åpenbarte hans talent for billedkunst seg. 18 år gammel fikk Jåks plass på Den Samiske Folkehøgskolen i Karasjok. Etter to årskurs der fikk han i 1952 plass på Statens håndverks- og kunstskole i Oslo, hvor han var til 1955. Samme året ble Jåks opptatt ved Statens lærerskole i forming på Notodden, hvor han gjennomførte utdanningen. Etter avsluttet skolegang fikk han jobb som lærer i tegning og samisk kunsthåndverk ved Den Samiske Folkehøgskolen. Siden kom han til Vraa Højskole i Danmark. Her ble han blant annet kjent med den danske kunsthistorikeren Rudolf Broby Johansen, noe som kan ha vært en medvirkende årsak til at han ble opptatt som elev på Kunstakademiet i København i årene 1958–59. Etter at han ble ferdig på Kunstakademiet giftet han seg med Inger Nielsen fra Holbæk. Paret flyttet til Karasjok hvor de bodde mesteparten av livet. Jåks hadde adskillige illustrasjons- og utsmykkingsoppdrag. Han har designet sølv til Finnmarksbunaden, kirketekstiler, monumentalskulpturer i tre, samt et betongrelieff – Gudenes dans – utenfor de samiske samlinger i Karasjok.
