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.

Statusrapport for Artsregistrering Av Virvelløse Dyr, Sopp Og Karplanter 2017 Øygarden, Hordaland, Kautokeino, Porsanger Og Nordkapp, Finnmark
SABIMA kartleggingsnotat 20-2017 Statusrapport for artsregistrering av virvelløse dyr, sopp og karplanter 2017 Øygarden, Hordaland, Kautokeino, Porsanger og Nordkapp, Finnmark Av Sissel og Nigel Goodgame Blektuppet småkøllesopp Clavulinopsis laeticolor Kartleggingsnotat 20, 2017 – Artskartlegging i Hordaland og Finnmark 2017 1 av 23 Sammendrag Emneord: Kartlegging, sopp, insekter, planter; Hordaland, Finnmark Årets artsregistreringer har i hovedsak konsentrert seg om områder i Porsanger, Kautokeino og Nordkapp, hvor vi har forsøkt å finne så mange arter som mulig i ved tre forskjellige anledninger. 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.

Our. Knowledge of the Geology of the Alta District of West Finnmark Owes Much to the Work of Holtedahl (1918, 1960) and Føyn (1964)
Correlation of Autochthonous Stratigraphical Sequences in the Alta-Repparfjord Region, West Finnmark DAVID ROBERTS & EIGILL FARETH Roberts, D. & Fareth, E.: Correlation of autochthonous stratigraphical se quences in the Alta-Repparfjord region, west Finnmark. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 54, pp. 123-129. Oslo 1974. An outline of the geology of the area between Alta and the Komagfjord tectonic window is presented. Lithologies (including a tillite) constituting an autochthonous sequence are described from an area on the north-east side of Altafjord, and from their similarity to those of formations occurring in adjacent areas a revised regional stratigraphical correlation is proposed. An occurrence of biogenic structures appears to provide confirmatory evidence for an earlier suggested correlation with Late Precambrian sequences be tween west and east Finnmark. D. Roberts & E. Fareth, Norges Geologiske Undersøkelse, Postboks 3006, 7001 Trondheim, Norway. Regional setting; previous correlations Our. knowledge of the geology of the Alta district of west Finnmark owes much to the work of Holtedahl (1918, 1960) and Føyn (1964). The oldest rocks, the Raipas Group or Series (Reitan 1963a) of Precambrian (Karelian) age, are represented by a sequence of greenschist facies metasediments, metavolcanics and intrusives. Lying unconformably upon the Raipas is a quartzite formation, a thin tillite, and a mixed shale and sandstone succession. Holtedahl (1918) re ferred to these autochthonous post-Raipas rocks as the 'Bossekopavdelingen', but Føyn (1964) later demonstrated the presence of an angular uncon formity beneath the tillite and adopted this break as the border between what he termed the Bossekop Group and the overlying sediments, the Borras Group. These were later referred to as sub-groups (Føyn 1967, Pl.
