The Sami were brought over by the U.S. government to train the Inupiat in reindeer herding. It is about their adjustment to each other and to the rapidly modernizing world they found themselves a part of, until the term indigenous became a part of everyday speech forty years ago. During this process they gained new identities while holding on to their indigenous ones, keeping a close tie to nature along the way. The thesis is based on a four-month fieldwork in Alaska during the summer of 2009, and is the second part of a Masters project. The first part is a film, Sami footprints in Alaska, which explores how the reindeer has affected the Native Alaskan more than a hundred years after the Reindeer Project of the 1890s. 4 Table of Contents 1.

Introduction Background for the project and interest My grandmother is not a Sami. She is 89, raised in Tromsø, which is in Sapmi, by Sami-speaking parents from Sami families, stands at about 150 cm with squinty eyes, but is not Sami. After I moved to Tromsø I found hard evidence of her Sami heritage and confronted her about this, yet she firmly believes she is not Sami. Even when admitting to being related to well known Samis in Norway, she can’t admit to having any Sami blood flowing through her veins. So my grandmother is not Sami, but I am. I lived most of my adult life in North America, fascinated by how Americans see themselves. Their identities are so diverse, varied in a way I had never experienced in my own country of Norway. I would meet people of Norwegian descent, and they would approach me with an awe and glee because of my heritage, which was difficult for me to comprehend. Since I speak English with a convincible American accent, people assumed I was American. So when I met people and told them I was Norwegian, I often got the response: Me too! After further investigation it turned out more often than not that they indeed were of Norwegian descent, but had never visited Norway, and one person even thought Norway was the capital of Sweden. Despite this, they felt Norwegian. It was where their ancestors came from, and this helped them define themselves in the melting pot of cultures that is the USA. Upon meeting a “real” Norwegian, they felt an even closer tie to my culture, “our” country and me. I found it weird. After moving to Tromsø, and discovering the facts of my own background, I suddenly understood why Americans have a tendency to obsess over their heritage. During my life I’d been this person: white Norwegian girl from an upper-middle class background, and a little more restless than my friends. I never liked this identity much; I didn’t feel like I fit in. But when I discovered my grandmother had a Sami background, it allowed me to place myself in a different box of identities than before. I could now be a white Norwegian girl with an upper-middle class background but descended from the nomadic Sami peoples. This allowed me to explain my adventurous spirit to my friends who didn’t understand my need for traveling around. For them it was sufficient evidence that I was different, and at the end of the day we could all agree on that being the reason. 7 One of my adventures led me to Alaska. In 2007 and 2008 I spent about a year in the wilderness learning, photographing and writing about nature and the people who live with it. I was told several times during my stay of the Sami people who had come through 110 years ago. They were hired by the American government to teach the natives how to herd reindeer, and the reindeer are still being herded to this day, based on the same teachings the Sami brought with them. I was curious to see what the Sami had left behind in Alaska, a place so far away yet so similar to their own home. When it came time to choose fieldwork, the topic of the Sami immigrating to Alaska seemed the obvious choice. By following in the footsteps of the Sami I saw an opportunity to learn more about my grandmother’s heritage and learn about how the Sami had assimilated in Alaska. But as the fieldwork progressed I became more interested in learning how the Sami and introduction of domesticated reindeer could reflect how the Inupiat handled their own identity. As a citizen of the western world I have been privileged in my lifestyle and experiences. I am writing this on an Apple computer designed in California and assembled in China. My tool for writing this is an Apple keyboard made specifically for Norway with Norwegian letters, like these: æ, ø, å. Only I am not using these letters as I am writing this in English, so I have set my computer to read the keyboard like it would an English one, like the one embedded in my laptop. My keyboard is also designed in California, with European directives, but assembled in Malaysia. I am a 32-year-old female Norwegian citizen. I have lived a total of 18 years in my home country, and 13 years in various places of the United States. I have visited more than 15 countries spread over three continents, understand six languages and speak four. My boyfriend lives more than 10 000 km away, is of British descent and carries passports to Canada and New Zealand. I speak with him every day typing in a chat room on the Internet from my phone. On my phone, also designed in California and assembled in China, I read newspapers spanning four continents covering the news for the entire globe. This is my global village, accessible from the comforts of my desk. The project evolved from trying to find the Sami footprints in Alaska into looking at how the Sami and Inupiat met and identified with each other through their common link to the flora and fauna, and further into how the Inupiat today still feel a close connection to the natural world while living in an increasingly globalized world. 8 Alaska Alaska is the largest state in the United States of America. People first started arriving into Alaska from Siberia across the Bering Land Bridge around 10 000 to 25 000 years ago1. Since then, people have populated the area, and after first contact with the western world these people were nicknamed Eskimo. In later years, people around the North Pole have been given the name Inuit, but according to the people of Alaska there are no Inuit in Alaska, but rather a complex, multiethnic society I have chosen to refer to in this project by the names they prefer themselves: Inupiat, Yupik and Siberian Yupik. Traditionally the area has been occupied by the Alaska Natives who lived off the land as hunters and gatherers. Fur-trading Russians colonized Alaska during the 1700s. In 1867 Alaska was bought by the USA from the Russians for 7.2 million dollars, and became an unofficial territory of the States from 1884 to 1959, when it was made its 49th state. Since first contact with the westernized world2 the traditional lifestyles of the Alaska Native have declined. The colonizers moved in, first with churches and schools, then with reindeer, always looking for a way to improve the lifestyles of what they interpreted as primitive people (Chance 1990). What was once a culture of hunters and gatherers have now become more like their adopted culture in the Lower 48 states3.

  • Horse Breeds in Medieval Role-Playing Games
    Horse Breeds in Medieval Role-playing Games Throughout the Middle Ages the horse was a powerful symbol of social differences but also a tool for the farmer, merchant and fighting classes. While the species varied considerably, as did their names, here is a summary of the main types encountered across Medieval Europe. Great Horse - largest (15-16 hands) and heaviest (1.5-2t) of horses, these giants were the only ones capable of bearing a knight in full plate armour. However such horses lacked speed and endurance. Thus they were usually reserved for tourneys and jousts. Modern equivalent would be a «shire horse». Mules - commonly used as a beast of burden (to carry heavy loads or pull wagons) but also occasionally as a mount. As mules are often both calmer and hardier than horses, they were particularly useful for strenuous support tasks, such as hauling supplies over difficult terrain. Hobby – a tall (13-14 hands) but lightweight horse which is quick and agile. Developed in Ireland from Spanish or Libyan (Barb) bloodstock. This type of quick and agile horse was popular for skirmishing, and was often ridden by light cavalry. Apparently capable of covering 60-70 miles a single day. Sumpter or packhorse - a small but heavier horse with excellent endurance. Used to carry baggage, this horse could be ridden albeit uncomfortably. The modern equivalent would be a “cob” (2-3 mark?). Rouncy - a smaller and well-rounded horse that was both good for riding and carrying baggage. Its widespread availability ensured it remained relatively affordable (10-20 marks?) compared to other types of steed.

  • Horse Power: Social Evolution in Medieval Europe
    ABSTRACT HORSE POWER: SOCIAL EVOLUTION IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE My research is on the development of the horse as a status symbol in Western Europe during the Middle Ages. Horses throughout history are often restricted to the upper classes in non-nomadic societies simply due to the expense and time required of ownership of a 1,000lb prey animal. However, between 1000 and 1300 the perceived social value of the horse far surpasses the expense involved. After this point, ownership of quality animals begins to be regulated by law, such that a well off merchant or a lower level noble would not be legally allowed to own the most prestigious mounts, despite being able to easily afford one. Depictions of horses in literature become increasingly more elaborate and more reflective of their owners’ status and heroic value during this time. Changes over time in the frequency of horses being used, named, and given as gifts in literature from the same traditions, such as from the Waltharius to the Niebelungenlied, and the evolving Arthurian cycles, show a steady increase in the horse’s use as social currency. Later epics, such as La Chanson de Roland and La Cantar del Mio Cid, illustrate how firmly entrenched the horse became in not only the trappings of aristocracy, but also in marking an individuals nuanced position in society.

  • Alaska Reindeer Herdsmen
    ALASKA REINDEER HERDSMEN ALASKA REINDEER HERDSMEN A Study of Native Management in Transition by Dean Francis Olson Institute of Social, Economic and Government Research University of Alaska College, Alaska 99701 SEG Report No. 22 December 1969 Price: $5.00 Dean F. Olson, an associate of the Institute of Social, Economic and Government Research, is a member of the Faculty of Business, Uni­ versity of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He received his OBA from the University of Washington in 1968. iv PREFACE Reindeer husbandry is a peculiarly circumpolar endeavor. Of the three million domesticated reindeer estimated to exist in the northernmost nations of the world, just over 1 per cent are found in North America. The Soviet Union possesses about 80 per cent, and the Fennoscandian countries contain more than 18 per cent. There are about 30,000 in western Alaska, and the Canadian government estimates that some 2,700 range the Mackenzie River basin. Domesticated reindeer are not indigenous to North America. They were first introduced to this continent in 1892, when they were brought to western Alaska from various Siberian locations. The Canadian government purchased their parent stock from an Alaska producer in 1935. In each case, the objectives for importation were to broaden the resource base of the Native populations and to provide a means for social and economic de­ velopment in remote areas. The present study examines the role of Alaska reindeer as a Native resource. More specifically, it concerns the historical role of the Alaska Eskimo reindeer herdsmen, and examines their functions as managers of a re­ source and as instruments for social and economic change among their people.

    Between Empires and Frontiers Alaska Native Sovereignty and U.S. Settler Imperialism A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jessica Arnett IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Jean M. O’Brien, Barbara Welke March, 2018 Copyright Jessica Arnett 2018 Acknowledgements My time in academia, first as an undergraduate, then an adjunct instructor, and finally as a graduate student, has spanned nearly two decades and involved numerous cross-country relocations. I cannot begin to assess the number of debts that I have accrued during this time, as friends, family members, devoted advisors, and colleagues supported the winding trajectory of my academic life. I am grateful for my committee and the years of insight and support they have provided for me as I developed my research questions and attempted to answer them. I am deeply indebted to my advisors, Jean O’Brien and Barbara Welke, who have tirelessly dedicated themselves to my project and have supported me through my many achievements and disappointments, both academic and personal. Jeani is an amazing historian who throughout my six years in Minnesota has continuously asked critical questions about my project that have triggered new ways of understanding what I was perceiving in the documentary record and how I eventually came to understand Alaska. Her immediate support and tireless enthusiasm for my radically different framing of Alaska’s relationship to the contiguous states and what that meant for Alaska Native sovereignty struggles encouraged me to continue theorizing settler imperialism and to have confidence that my research was not only worthwhile, but path breaking and relevant.
