The user has requested enhancement of the downloaded file. Sámi Heritage at the Winter Festival in Jokkmokk, Sweden Dieter K. Müller a; Robert Pettersson b Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism, Vol. 6, No. 1, pp.54-69 Abstract Indigenous tourism is an expansive sector in the growing tourism industry. However, the tourist experience of the indigenous heritage is often delimited to staged culture in museums, exhibitions and festivals. In this paper, focus is put on the annual Sámi winter festival in Jokkmokk, Sweden. It is discussed to what extent this festival truly is an indigenous event. This is accomplished by scrutinizing the Sámi representation at the festival regarding its content and its spatial location. It is argued that the available indigenous heritage is highly staged, although backstage experiences are available for the Sámi and for the curious tourists. Keywords: Cultural event; indigenous festival; Sámi tourism; Sápmi; Jokkmokk Introduction Indigenous experiences are coveted, but often hard to catch. Thanks to a growing industry of indigenous tourism the accessibility increases. According to Smith (1996) there are four different elements which are influential in the development of indigenous tourism, and can be a part of the tourist experience: habitat, history, handicrafts and heritage.

  • February – Quebec – Winter Carnival
    Celebrates Canada 150 - Quebec Bienvenue au Quebec (Welcome to Quebec)! Quebec was one of the original four provinces that formed Canada in 1867. Known as “la belle province” (the beautiful province) to its locals, Quebec is the largest Canadian province (in terms of area). Quebec is a vibrant multicultural province, often recognized as the “Europe of North America”. Quebec is also famous for its vast forests, rolling hills and countless waterways. Quebec is the only province whose official language is French. The capital city is Quebec City, with a population of nearly 800,000. Quebec is also home to Canada’s second largest city, and the second largest French-speaking city in the world, Montreal (more than four million people). Continental air masses are common in Québec, the temperature is affected by marine currents. One of the most important of these is the cold Labrador Current. It moves southward from Labrador to Newfoundland. It is the main cause of cool East Coast summers and the Gulf Stream is responsible for humid heat waves during the summer. Because of the frequent meeting of warm tropical air from the Gulf of Mexico and cold, dry air from the north or west, the entire province receives heavy snowfalls during the winter. Snowy winters in Quebec don’t keep locals and visitors from having fun. The Quebec area boasts fantastic terrain and exceptional conditions, with an average natural snowfall of over 400cm each year! You can ski or snowboard at any of the four resorts just minutes from Quebec City. You can also enjoy ice-skating, dogsledding, Nordic spas, snowmobiling, snow sliding, cross country skiing, and the famous Winter Carnival!

  • Ottawa Experiences Ottawa Best the Ottawa’S Other Bond with Nature Is Its Rivers
    THE BEST OF 1 OTTAWA s a native of Ottawa, I’ve seen this city evolve over the past 5 decades from a sleepy civil-service Atown to a national capital that can proudly hold its own with any city of comparable size. The official population is more than 800,000, but the central core is compact and its skyline relatively short. Most Ottawans live in suburban, or even rural, communities. The buses are packed twice a day with government workers who live in communities like Kanata, Nepean, Gloucester, and Orleans, which were individually incorporated cities until municipal amalgamation in 2001. Although there are a number of residential neighborhoods close to downtown, you won’t find the kind of towering condominiums that line the downtown streets of Toronto or Vancouver. As a result, Ottawa is not the kind of city where the downtown side- walks are bustling with people after dark, with the excep- tion of the ByWard Market and Elgin Street. One could make the case that Ottawa would be very dull indeed were it not for Queen Victoria’s decision to anoint it capital of the newly minted Dominion of Canada. Thanks to her choice, tourists flock to the Parlia- ment Buildings, five major national museums, a handful of government- funded festivals, and the Rideau Canal. Increasingly, tourists are spreading COPYRIGHTEDout beyond the well-established attractions MATERIAL to discover the burgeoning urban neighborhoods like Wellington West and the Glebe, and venturing into the nearby countryside. For visitors, Ottawa is an ideal walking city. Most of the major attrac- tions—and since this is a national capital, there are many—are within easy walking distance of the major hotels.

  • Sami Tourism in Northern Sweden
    Sami Tourism in Northern Sweden Supply, Demand and Interaction Akademisk avhandling som med vederbörligt tillstånd av rektorsämbetet vid Umeå universitet för vinnande av filosofie doktorsexamen framlägges för offentlig granskning vid Kulturgeografiska institutionen, Umeå universitet torsdagen den 4 mars 2004 kl. 10.15 i BT 102, Beteendevetarhuset av Robert Pettersson Pettersson, Robert. Sami Tourism in Northern Sweden – Supply, Demand and Interaction. Doctoral dissertation in Social and Economic Geography at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Umeå University, Sweden, 2003. Abstract: Indigenous tourism is an expansive sector in the growing tourism industry. The Sami people living in Sápmi in northern Europe have started to engage in tourism, particularly in view of the rationalised and modernised methods of reindeer herding. Sami tourism offers job opportunities and enables the spreading of information. On the other hand, Sami tourism may jeopardise the indigenous culture and harm the sensitive environment in which the Sami live. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the supply and demand of Sami tourism in northern Sweden. This is presented in four articles, preceded by an introductory section describing the purpose, method, theory, background, empirical evidence, and with a discussion and summaries in English and Swedish. The first two articles describe Sami tourism from a producer (article I) and a consumer perspective (article II), respectively. The question is to what extent the supply of tourist attractions related to the Swedish Sami corresponds to the demand of the tourists. The first article analyses the potential of the emerging Sami tourism in Sweden, with special emphasis on the access to Sami tourism products.

  • 4.8 Human Heritage Appreciation
    RECREATIONAL VALUES 206 4.8 Human Heritage Appreciation The extraordinary history and human heritage of the Ottawa River is a source of pride for numerous communities along its shores. These are reflected in the many special events, festivals, museums, Figure 4.16 Looking Up the Ottawa From plaques and other interpretive structures that the Parliament Grounds exist along the length of the river. The Ottawa River flows through the Nation’s Capital, right by the Parliament Buildings, with sites and museums of national importance. Along the entire stretch of the river there are opportunities for human heritage appreciation related to the main heritage themes of the river. This section highlights a number of popular human heritage sites, focusing on museums and events along the river. Cultural heritage tourism is growing worldwide, Source : Picturesque Canada and is seen by the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation as a significant opportunity for Ontario’s rural and northern communities to increase their economic vitality (Professional Edge 3). The Outaouais region is Quebec’s third most popular tourism destination, although marketing of this region places a greater emphasis on natural heritage. Ottawa draws more than 5 million visitors annually, of which currently only 20 to 25% cross the Ottawa River to visit the Canadian Museum of Civilization and Gatineau Park (Ville de Gatineau: “Planification”). 4.8.1 Cultural Heritage Routes Cultural heritage routes have been developed on both sides of the river. Thematic visits and driving loops have been developed by tourism associations such as Tourisme Outaouais and the Ottawa Valley Tourism Association. Examples of cultural heritage routes with accompanying interpretation include the following: • Ottawa River Living Legacy Kiosks: A series of 12 interpretive kiosks have been placed along the length of the Ottawa River to recognize its history and unique ecology, as part of Ontario’s Living Legacy Landmarks program.

  • Haudenosaunee Guide for Educators
    HAUDENOSAUNEE GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS EDUCATION OFFICE We gather our minds to greet and thank the enlightened Teachers who have come to help throughout the ages. When we forget how to live in harmony, they remind us of the way we were instructed to live as people. With one mind, we send greetings and thanks to these caring Teachers. Now our minds are one. From the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address Dear Educator, he Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian is pleased to bring this guide to you. It was written to help provide teachers with a better Tunderstanding of the Haudenosaunee. It was written by staff at the Museum in consultation with Haudenosaunee scholars and community members. Though much of the material contained within this guide may be familiar to you, some of it will be new. In fact, some of the information may challenge the curriculum you use when you instruct your Haudenosaunee unit. It was our hope to provide educators with a deeper and more integrated understanding of Haudenosaunee life, past and present. This guide is intended to be used as a supplement to your mandated curriculum. There are several main themes that are reinforced throughout the guide. We hope these may guide you in creating lessons and activities for your classrooms. The main themes are: Jake Swamp (Tekaroniankeken), ■ a traditional Mohawk spiritual The Haudenosaunee, like thousands of Native American nations and communities leader, and his wife Judy across the continent, have their own history and culture. (Kanerataronkwas) in their ■ The Peacemaker Story, which explains how the Confederacy came into being, is home with their grandsons the civic and social code of ethics that guides the way in which Haudenosaunee Ariwiio, Aniataratison, and people live — how they are to treat each other within their communities, how Kaienkwironkie.
