  • The Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP)
    The Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP) Your ref Our ref Date 18/2098-13 27 February 2019 The Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP) – Norway's contribution to the report focusing on recognition, reparation and reconciliation With reference to the letter of 20th November 2018 from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights where we were invited to contribute to the report of the Expert Mechanism on recognition, reparation and reconciliation initiatives in the last 10 years. Development of the Norwegian Sami policy For centuries, the goal of Norwegian Sami policy was to assimilate the Sami into the Norwegian population. For instance Sami language was banned in schools. In 1997 the King, on behalf of the Norwegian Government, gave an official apology to the Sami people for the unjust treatment and assimilation policies. The Sami policy in Norway today is based on the recognition that the state of Norway was established on the territory of two peoples – the Norwegians and the Sami – and that both these peoples have the same right to develop their culture and language. Legislation and programmes have been established to strengthen Sami languages, culture, industries and society. As examples we will highlight the establishment of the Sámediggi (the Sami parliament in Norway) in 1989, the Procedures for Consultations between the State Authorities and Sámediggi of 11 May 2005 and the Sami Act. More information about these policies can be found in Norway's reports on the implementation of the ILO Convention No. 169 and relevant UN Conventions.

Vi har brukt mye tid til feltobservasjoner av planter, sopp og innsekter i flere områder i Goarahat og Sandvikhalvøya, i tillegg noen registreringer i forbindelse med et TOV-E prosjekt for fugletelling på Finnmarksvidda og i Nordkapp kommune på en dagstur. Resultatet for feltobservasjonene ble 194 totalt arter registrert, med 85 nye arter registrert for Goarahat og Sandvikhalvøya, 16 nye arter for Porsanger og 4 første og 2 andre for Finnmark. Disse tallene er basert på data registrert Artsobservasjoner. I tillegg registrerte vi 21 arter i Kautokeino kommune og 33 arter i Nordkapp kommune. Vi gjorde en liten innsats med lysfelle i Øygarden noen få netter i 2017, men det var lite oppholdsvær og vanskelige forhold å jobbe under. I tillegg var vi i Finnmark store deler av sesongen. Personer involvert Bidragsytere til årets artsregistreringer har også i år vært Sissel og Nigel Goodgame, med god hjelp fra vår kollega Jeff Blincow fra England, som har bidratt med sin ekspertise og hjulpet til med artsbestemmelse og fotografier.

One of the important objectives of the project has been to listen to and take into account what Sami people expect from the work on documentation and protection of their traditional know ledge. Special gratitude is owed to communities and individuals in the Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish parts of Sápmi, who eagerly participated in community meetings and other project activities. Sami communities have been important partners in the project, which would not have been possible without their support, collabo ration and genuine interest. We are grateful to the communities and all individual árbečeahpit (tradition- bearers) in the following places: In the Coastal Sami area c/o the Sea Sami Centre of Expertise: Jáhkovuotna/Kokelv, Čuđegieddi/Kistrand, Billávuotna/Bille fjord, Cuop pogieddi/Sandvik, Jovnnanjárga/Jonsnes, Ráigešája/Igeldas, Rávt toš njárga/Stabbursnes, Leavdnja/Lakselv, Breannjá/Brenna, Keaisa/Kjæs.

  • Estimating 137Cs Ingestion Doses to Saamis in Kautokeino (Norway) Using Whole Body Counting Vs
    Estimating 137Cs ingestion doses to Saamis in Kautokeino (Norway) using whole body counting vs. dietary survey results and food samples Lavrans Skuterud, Tone Bergan and Hanne Mehii Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority, P.O.Box 55, N-1332 østeras, Norway Introduction Following the findings of elevated concentrations of radioactive caesium (i.e., 137 Cs) in humans consuming reindeer meat in the early 1960'ies, Norwegian authorities initiated a monitoring programme among reindeer keeping Saamis in Kautokeino (690N, 230E) in 1965. Results of the studies for the period 1965-1983 were summarised by Westerlund et al. (1987). Updates on the results of the whole body monitoring (up to 1999) and analyses of reindeer meat samples (to 1996) were presented by Skuterud et al. (1999). From 1965 to 1990 whole body measurements were carried out on an annual basis. Since then, 3- year cycles have been followed. In most years, the reindeer keepers have provided samples of reindeer meat for radiocaesium analysis. In 1989-1990 and 1999 dietary surveys were performed in conjunction with the whole-body monitoring. Earlier diet information is available from a separate study in 1963. Rough estimates of the radiocaesium intake by the studied population in Kautokeino have indicated that the dietary surveys have overestimated the radiocaesium intake. The aim of the present study (a part of the NKS-BOK-2.1.2 project) was to evaluate the available information from Kautokeino, and to derive some conclusions regarding the reindeer meat consumption by today's reindeer keepers, and what 137 Cs ingestion doses they are exposed to. Materials and methods Every year the monitoring has taken place in end March or early April, as this is assumed to give results representative of the annual mean whole body activity concentrations (Berteig et al.
